    If I could hug you right now, I would. I was so close to having a meltdown on the kitchen floor because an aunt wanted me to bake her 3 roll cakes before Christmas and I just tossed my fourth cake into the garbage because they went miserably wrong. I opened my laptop to take a break and voila! It's like you just picked me off the kitchen floor and dusted me off...lol.

      @@PrettyBoyKii Thanks. This video finally helped. I’m actually from Colorado but I’m baking in Kansas so altitude was the issue for me. Since this version does not have a rising agent, it worked. I was also trying with a flourless recipe and it was turning out to be pasty.

    I am very interested in hand-pies! Empanadas, turnovers, Southern-style fried peach pie, savory one-person chicken pot pies, English pork pies. They are fabulous either sweet or savory for cold weather and portable feasts or even simple lunch box meals. So far, I have found no worthwhile instructions online. It's up to you, Erin, to lead the charge.

    • @przybyla420
      @przybyla420 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Me too, but they aren’t that tricky are they? The dough needs to be cold to roll out thin and fold, and it helps to work quickly on a few at a time, with the rest in the fridge. Use parchment paper to help you manipulate the thin dough. Don’t over fill, you can trim excess off after folding. Don’t let any filling get on the seal area or it will leak filling. Push down wit fork around edges to seal. Egg wash. Cut vent holes with sharp knife, cleaning in between as necessary. Bake around 400F.

    What a delightful episode, roll cakes are a favourite in our house, in the uk, these type of roll cakes were often referred to as a “Swiss roll” not sure why. They often contain jam or jam and butter cream. Now with changing times they have also be renamed roulade. Lovely episode again, clear concise and informative. Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the UK.

What a revelation! the instructions were easy to follow (both the video, which I found very helpful, and the recipe at FOOD52. I've never made a roulade before but mine came out perfect and my husband said it was the best cake he has ever eaten (he had two pieces). The recipe is a winner and so is Erin. I'm looking forward to trying different flavors of jam. Thanks, Erin.
