    Jam roly poly is very traditional here in Scotland, and it's something my granny used to make regularly. I've never known it be boiled though, that looked awful! It should be a dense pudding, but not wet like that! It should be steamed in the oven, not cooked directly in water. That way you get the rise and a slightly browned crispiness to the outside.
    Also, Bird's custard doesn't taste eggy because it's specifically made without egg - the inventor's wife was allergic to egg but she loved custard so he developed an egg-free one for her

      Kiwi here.The one l grew up eating and used to make was a jam roly poly but, put in a dish with sugar and water which came about halfway up the pudding, then baked. The water and sugar reduced and thickened as the pudding cooked and that became the sauce and the pudding got a lovely crust on it as it cooked. Is that something like yours?

      A lot of past societies had a high sense of humor when it came to their food's naming. What it looked like, how it tasted, or simply how it was prepared and presented often played part in the naming of a dish. I remember reading once that there was a habit of re-dressing certain roasted fowl in their feathers for high society banquets and feasts.

    • @ixchelkali
      @ixchelkali 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      I'm just guessing, but since these desserts were often served for pudding at schools, I suspect that's where the acquired these names. They sound like names a bunch of 10-year-old boys would delight in. One of my favorite raisin cookies, Garibaldi biscuits, is known by the schoolboy crowd as squashed fly biscuits.

    I have an alternative way for you try! We call it a baked jam roll or baked jam roly poly.
    Pre-heat your oven to moderately hot.
    Butter a rectangular baking dish.
    Make your pastry, spread your jam just as with your recipe. Don’t wrap it in cloth. Once rolled up, place your roly poly diagonally corner to corner in your baking dish. The next part is what makes this sooo very delicious!
    Dissolve one cup of white sugar and three tablespoons of butter in two cups of boiling water. Pour over the roly poly and bake for 30-45 minutes.
    The syrup will be like toffee at the edges. It’s DELICIOUS! I have been known to increase the syrup to one and a half cups of sugar 5 tablespoons of butter and three cups of boiling water to get more toffee syrup!
    The roly poly is golden, flaky and crispy and sometimes splits to reveal the jam. It is truly very yummy!! We always served it with pouring cream instead of custard.

    Essentially these type of boiled puddings are dumplings with the combination of flour and suet at its core. Generally speaking most of the the old fashioned puddings like these are either steamed or baked now a days, though there seems to be a resurgent in classic boiled puddings, well at least with clooty dumplings from what I have seen on facebook (well worth a try if you want to try a traditional Scottish dumpling, though it is served with a scottish breakfast (lorne, tattie scone, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, maybe some link sausages (and devisive baked beans) and either tinned plum tomatoes or fried tomato (dinnae forget the broon sauce), it is very tasty.

      I wouldn't say a clootie dumpling is the same as the fruit pudding you'd slice and fry for a Scottish breakfast. A clootie dumpling is round because it's tied up in a cloot, and it's a sweet pudding you'd have with custard. Fruit pudding is made in a sausage shape so you can slice it into rounds like black or white pudding to fry

    If any Americans watching this feel inclined to try making it (and why wouldn't you?! 😂) just note that Emmy was following a recipe published for the UK market. The recipe indicated self-raising flour, which contains more baking powder than US self-rising flour. If you use US self-rising flour, you should add an extra half teaspoon of baking powder for every cup of flour used - this should mean you end up with a fluffier texture than Emmy did (given her pudding lacks a quarter of the raising agent needed).
    Also, self-raising flour doesn't contain any salt, whereas US self rising flour contains a half teaspoon for every cup, so as Emmy advises in the video, don't add any extra.

    It's a lot better baked in my opinion. Back in the day people didn't have ovens in the same way we do now so steaming or boiling was easier.
    Baked, you get a fluffy middle and crispy top. You can make a quick and easy filling with pureed dried apricots instead of jam.

    This is similar to a pudding/dessert we have here in Strathspey in the Scottish Highlands called a clootie dumpling. Clootie means cloth. Literally just down the road from me is the Speyside Centre where you can have a slice of their handmade clootie dumpling with custard or ice cream. The consistency is very much the same as your dead man's leg but a clootie dumpling is more or a ball-shaped thing of beauty.

    Jam Roly poly is a traditional dish of the UK. The old way ( Victorian) was to boil in water, but over the years steaming has become more popular. And hence why the boiled version is a easy pudd for camping. Scout groups will often have their own version.

      You barely described it but it sounds like the one I've had since I was a kid here in Chile called brazo de reina [queen's arm]… which unlike yours, I wouldn't recommend she makes no matter how good it is.
      It's a roll cake filled with manjar (dulce de leche (milk caramel)) and with powdered sugar on top.
      You can likely make roll cakes of many kinds by mixing up the filling ingredients but since our manjar is so addictive in the first place this one is fine with just one ingredient.
      Which also means I wouldn't recommend this recipe to people in other countries, in particular outside of Latin America… Unless you find a good brand, it's a waste of time.

    • @nodezsh
      @nodezsh 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@EmbalmerEmi Yeah with that description you gave it actually sounds completely different.
      We can get away with it because it genuinely is dead easy for us to find good manjar and thus we can eat it by the spoonful. It takes a while to finish the spoonful if we want to savour it because it has to dissolve in our mouth, but every second is blissful. It's better than bars of chocolate we'd most likely find around here, and even if eaten by the spoonful it's cheaper.
      So if this is the only filling inside and it's not a good brand, the whole thing will just suck.
      Your roll cake sounds doable though.

    Custard was and is still made with egg, but Bird Custard is egg-free as the original creator, A.J. Bird was looking for an egg-free alternative for his wife, who was allergic. He then incorporated to sell his recipe in a powder.
    You also have savoury versions of roly poly or "Dead Mans Leg" pudding. It can be made with chicken, bacon, any kind of sauces or gravies and once boiled/cooked, can be reheated by frying.

    From what I understand (though I'm no expert) "puddings" were originally sausages, and when pudding cloths were invented to use instead of natural casings, the definition expanded to a variety of steamed fillings, some of which were sweet, and then narrowed down in N.A to refer only to soft desserts. Something like that.

    It is a dumpling mix. You make it without the sugar for savoury fillings, like bacon and onion or steak and kidney. My nan used to cut her old white sheet into 'cloths' for boiling them in, and these were closed using dress making pins. It needs to be totally submerged for the duration of the cooking and removed immediately when the cooking has finished. I still make these to this day.

    Part of the reason for the name “Dead Man’s Leg “ is due to the use of the muslin cloth to wrap the roll as it would resemble a leg of mutton or ham wrapped to be hung up to dry. It also resembles the legs of wounded soldiers who were in the hospital after the battle of Balaclava many of whom lost their lives or their legs/ arms due to infection which was rife in the hospital that was run by Florence Nightingale.
