Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients:

  • 200 grams (7.05 ounces) self-raising flour
  • 100 grams (3.53 ounces) vegetarian suet
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar

Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1/2 orange

Liquid Ingredients:

  • 150 milliliters (5.07 fluid ounces) milk

Filling:

  • 200 grams (7.05 ounces) raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Warm the oven to 200C (fan 180C) and position a water-filled tin on the bottom rack to create moisture.
  2. Prepare a 40cm baking paper sheet, lightly coating with butter, and layer it atop a slightly longer foil sheet.
  3. Combine flour, sugar, aromatic vanilla or citrus zest, and suet in a spacious mixing bowl.
  4. Introduce milk gradually, gently kneading until a pliable, cohesive dough forms.
  5. On a flour-dusted surface, extend the dough into a rectangular shape approximately 23x33cm.
  6. Generously spread jam across the dough surface, maintaining a 2cm border around the edges.
  7. Carefully roll the dough into a compact cylinder, ensuring tight closure and pinching the seams securely.
  8. Position the roll seam-side down onto the prepared paper, maintaining a relaxed wrapping to allow expansion.
  9. Encase the roll completely in buttered paper and foil, twisting the ends to seal while preserving room for rising.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden and fully cooked through.
  11. Extract from oven, delicately unwrap, slice into portions, and serve while warm alongside creamy custard.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality jam with rich fruit flavor for a more intense taste experience.
  • Keep dough thickness consistent while rolling to ensure even cooking and texture.
  • Create steam during baking by placing water-filled tin on bottom shelf, which helps maintain moisture and softness of the pudding.
  • Experiment with alternative jam flavors like raspberry, strawberry, or mixed berry to customize the dessert according to personal preference.
