Time to show you some more baking

i did last weekend :o)

Homemade - Swiss roll -

or i think in the USA it`s jello roll ?

It had been years since i made one with jam ,

i didn`t have any - so i used lemon curd

instead - I got some help later on - as you`ll see -

my other half videod me rolling it !!

When i was just going to snap pictures for you ;o)

Preheat oven to 200 f

Whisk together 3 eggs and 3oz caster sugar

until it forms peaks , then slowly fold in 3oz flour .

Pour into a tin lined with greased proof paper

my size tin is 12 x 9 " - an inch in depth .

It will only take 10 minutes to cook -

so don`t go doing something else ;o)

While mine was cooking -

i prepared another sheet of paper

sprinkled with sugar - no caster sugar left

it will look better with that though ;o)

I then put 4 Tblsp of lemon curd ( or jam ) and warmed

it in the microwave - to spread better .

10 minutes later ...

You have to be quick with the next stages -

Take it out of the tin and place the cooked side on the sugar -

then quickly peel away the paper .Spread the warm

chosen filling on - Then it`s rolling it up !

Not bad huh ??









Here i am rolling it up - ahem -

excuse the mess - and if i`d have known

i was going to make an appearance on here -

I would have tidied myself up a little !!

I`m not one for being in the limelight , only

on the odd occasion - and my Christmas video message -

i do have an idea for that this year - he he !!

And hey - it was late sunday morning -

that`s my excuse and i`m sticking to it !!

Leave to cool and slice -

and enjoy !!

This only lasted 2 days ..

the day after was better when the

filling had soaked into the sponge slightly .
