A roly-poly is a traditional British dessert similar to an American jelly roll. In this version, the scone-like pastry is spread with tangysweet raspberry and rhubarb jam, then baked. Ingredients:
1/2 pound fresh rhubarb, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices (about 2 cups) |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon water |
1/2 cup raspberry jam |
2 cups all purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) frozen unsalted butter |
2/3 cup (or more) ice water |
1 tablespoon whipping cream beaten with 1 tablespoon sugar (for glaze) |
vanilla custard sauce |

1. For filling: Combine rhubarb, sugar, and 1 tablespoon water in medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Cover; cook until rhubarb softens to thick pulp, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Mix in jam; cool. do ahead Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; chill.
2. For dough: Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into large bowl. Using large holes on box grater, grate frozen butter into bowl; stir to blend. Cover and freeze at least 15 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep frozen.
3. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Add 2/3 cup ice water to flour mixture, tossing until soft dough forms, adding more ice water by tablespoonfuls if dough is stiff. Transfer to lightly floured surface; knead gently 5 or 6 turns (butter should remain in firm pieces). Roll out dough to 12x9-inch rectangle. Spread 6 tablespoons filling over dough, leaving 1-inch plain border on all sides. Starting at 1 long side, roll up jelly-roll style; seal seam. Place seam side down on prepared sheet. Seal ends. Brush glaze over pastry.
