Rolled Biscuits with Jam
Updated: 6 days ago
Indulging in the delightful experience of homemade biscuit rolls filled with jam is a treat that brings warmth to any kitchen. These biscuit rolls are not only visually appealing but also incredibly satisfying to eat. In this particular recipe, I have chosen to use strawberry jam, which adds a sweet and fruity flavor that perfectly complements the buttery biscuit dough. However, the beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility; you can easily substitute the strawberry jam with other delicious options such as plum, currant, raspberry, or apricot jam, each bringing its unique taste and character to the rolls.
Ingredients
To make these scrumptious biscuit rolls, you will need a few simple ingredients that are commonly found in most kitchens. Here’s a list to help you gather everything you need:
- **2 cups of all-purpose flour**: This forms the base of your biscuit dough, providing structure and texture.
- **1 tablespoon of baking powder**: This leavening agent helps the biscuits rise, giving them a light and fluffy texture.
- **1/2 teaspoon of salt**: A small amount of salt enhances the flavor of the biscuits, balancing the sweetness of the jam.
- **1/4 cup of granulated sugar**: This adds a touch of sweetness to the dough itself.
- **1/2 cup of unsalted butter**: Cold butter is essential for creating flaky layers in the biscuits.
- **3/4 cup of milk**: This helps to bind the ingredients together and creates a moist dough.
- **Jam of your choice**: For filling, use about 1/2 cup of your preferred jam.
Preparation Steps
One of the many advantages of this recipe is its simplicity. There is no need to wait for the dough to rise, making it a quick and efficient option for any time of day. Here’s how to prepare these delightful rolls:
1. **Preheat Your Oven**: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your rolls will bake evenly and develop a beautiful golden-brown color.
2. **Mix Dry Ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
3. **Incorporate Butter**: Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for achieving that flaky biscuit texture.
4. **Add Milk**: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
5. **Roll Out the Dough**: On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Roll it out into a rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick.
6. **Spread the Jam**: Evenly spread your chosen jam across the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.
7. **Roll and Cut**: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Once rolled, slice the log into equal pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
8. **Bake**: Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart. Bake in the preheated oven for around 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
9. **Cool and Serve**: Once baked, allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. They can be served warm or at room temperature, and are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a delightful snack.

Ingredients: simple, total time: 50 min.
Dough:
1 whole egg
pinch of salt
10 g vanilla sugar/ 1 bag
60 g sugar
50 ml oil
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
2 Tablespoons Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
250 g flour 00
Filling:
strawberry jam
For Sprinkle:
powdered sugar
Preparation:
Using a mixer, blend the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until the mixture is smooth, foamy, and light in color. Add a pinch of salt, oil, and yogurt, then continue mixing at a low speed while gradually incorporating the flour mixed with baking powder.
Once a cohesive dough is formed, prepare the work surface by smoothing it out, and roll the dough to a thickness of 3 mm using a rolling pin. Cut the dough into 6 cm squares with a dough cutter. Set aside any remaining dough and repeat the process.
Fill the squares with jam and shape them into small rolls, ensuring the ends are sealed properly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking. When forming the rolls, fold the dough into squares only once, sealing the edges inside the dough.
Line a larger tray than the oven with baking paper and arrange the biscuit rolls on it. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 15–20 minutes, ensuring they do not become too dark.
While still warm, coat the rolls in powdered sugar.
Serve.
Buon appetito!
NOTE:
Keep the dessert covered at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
