Tongan Pie (Jelly Roll) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 cups flour
    1 cup sugar
    3 teaspoons baking powder
    1 1/4 cups margarine (cold)
    3 eggs
    1/2 - 3/4 cup milk (cold)
Preparation
    Mix flour, sugar & powder well.
    Cut margarine in small cubes (cut long ways then short ways for tiny cubes).
    Throw margarine cubes into flour, then work it into flour until evenly broken up--much like making a pie crust.
    Add eggs (mix first in separate bowl) and rub together until even.
    Add milk & mix until not sticky but balls up.
    Roll out on floured surface about 1/4-1/3\" thick.
    Spread with jam or jelly on entire surface leaving 1/2 \" space along edges.
    Roll dough into one large log & fold ends under to keep jelly from oozing out.
    Transfer to foil lined cookie sheet.
    Bake at 275 degrees for 45 minutes.
