Ingredients
Main
50 g butter
250 g self-raising flour
1 pcs vanilla (small pod, seeds)
50 g suet
150 ml milk
100 g raspberry jam
custard (to serve)
Directions
Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and place a deep roasting tin two shelves below the rack you will use, fill two-thirds with boiling water and keep hot.
Tear a large sheet of foil and a sheet of greaseproof paper (~30x40cm), greaseproof on top of foil and butter the paper.
Combine butter, flour and vanilla seeds in a food processor and pulse until butter is disappeared, or rub together by hand, then transfer to a bowl.
Stir in suet and pour in milk, work with a knife to form a sticky dough, adding a little more milk if needed.
Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat and roll to a roughly 25x25cm square.
Spread jam over the dough leaving a gap along one edge, then roll up from the opposite edge.
Pinch the jam-free edge to seal and pinch the ends; place seam-side down on the greased paper.
Loosely bring up paper and foil around the roll and scrunch edges to seal (do not wrap tightly).
Place the parcel on the rack above the hot roasting tin and cook for 1 hour.
Let sit 5 minutes before unwrapping, then open and thickly slice to serve with custard.
