This recipe makes enough for five roly-polys and will feed up to 40 hungry people. Serve them with custard.

Method


  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas mark 6.

  2. Place the flour, sugar, suet and lemon zest into a large bowl and mix thoroughly.

  3. Make a well in the centre of the mixture then gradually add enough water to make a soft dough. Knead lightly until smooth and divide into five portions.

  4. Roll each portion of dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1cm/½in thick. Spread the lemon curd out on the dough leaving a 1cm/½in border.

  5. Roll up from the short side into a pinwheel, seal the ends well with a little water and place onto greased baking trays. Brush with the milk.

  6. Place in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
