Method

Apricot and almond scrolls
  • 1
    Preheat oven to very hot, 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Lightly grease a baking tray.
  • 2
    Sift flour into a large bowl. Add butter and rub in lightly using fingertips. Stir in apricots, sugar and nuts.
  • 3
    Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture. Pour in combined milk and egg all at once. Using a bread and butter knife, mix quickly to a soft, sticky dough. Do not over-mix.
  • 4
    Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly. Press or roll out to form a rectangle about 2cm thick. Spread jam over dough. Roll up tightly from long side. Cut log into 9 slices.
  • 5
    Place close together on tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until scrolls sound hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

You will need to roll out dough to a 20 x 25cm rectangle. If liked, brush prepared scrolls with a little milk and sprinkle with a little caster sugar.
