Method:

Brush the pastry with the warmed jam, leaving a 10mm / ½in border all around. |

Fold in the border and brush it with milk. |

With a short side towards you, roll up the pastry loosely and seal the ends well. |

Place on a greased baking sheet with the sealed edge underneath. |
8. |
Brush over with a little milk and sprinkle with caster sugar. |
9. |
Bake in the oven at 200°C / 400°F / Gas 6 for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. |

Mama makes the dough in a bowl,
and then rolls out the dough.
