    1 unit
  • egg

Method

1
Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt. Add the suet and sufficient water to create a soft but not sticky dough.
2
Turn on to a floured board and roll out to a rectangle about 20x30cm (8x12 inch).
3
Brush the pastry with the warmed jam, leaving a 1cm (½ inch) border all round.
4
Fold in this border and brush with milk. With the short side towards you, roll up the pastry loosely and seal the ends well.
5
Place on a greased baking sheet, with the sealed edge underneath. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with caster sugar.
6
Bake in the oven at 200 C (400 F / Gas 6) for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
