Jam Roly-poly is traditionally steamed. So before proceeding further to Jam Roly-poly recipe I would like to advice you that if you have a large enough steamer you can use that.
Now lets imagine how often did we fantasise about the food while reading Enid Blyton’s descriptions of English high tea and dinners when we were kids.
Images of buttered scones and jam roly-polys would dance in front of our eyes as kids, though few of us had any idea what they were and were only sure that they would be delicious.
In this post lets have a look at a recipe that we have always fantasised about as kids.
Unfortunately, you will never find this dessert on any Indian restaurant menu, but that doesn’t mean that Jam Roly-Poly aren’t delicious.
