8 ounces self raising flour
4 ounces shredded suet or 4 ounces grated frozen butter

5 -6 tablespoons jam, of your choice or 5 -6 tablespoons golden syrup

Preheat oven to 200\u00b0C/400\u00b0F/Gas Mark 6.
Grease/line a large rectangular baking tray - about 12 x 9 inches.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, suet and salt together.

Turn the dough out onto a floured board, and knead gently.
Roll out the pastry into a rectangle of about 10 x 8 inches.
Spread the surface of the rolled pastry with the jam of your choice, to within 1 inch of the border.
Moisten the edges of the pastry with some water, and roll it up loosly like a Swiss Roll, starting at the narrow end.
Press the edges together firmly to seal and gently lift onto a greased/lined baking tray - with the join UNDERNEATH the Roly Poly.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
To Steam:
Loosely wrap in greaseproof paper and foil, and steam for 1 1/2 hours.
To Serve:
Serve hot, cut into slices and with custard or cream.
