A jam roll!




(Mine does not look like this.)


Currently I am eating up the yummy part that cooked properly, while subjecting the rest to several more minutes of cooking.

It would have worked better if I were* any good at folding flour into fluffy mixtures of whipped egg. Unfortunately, I am not, and when I dumped the flour into the fluffy eggy stuff, it did something like... ~~~Flurbt~~~ and had this lumpy bit in the middle that sneered at me and my laughable expectations of getting it to rise properly.

Silly folding. If I ever have enough money to employ a professional cook, I'll do all the fun bits, and he can do the impossible stuff, like folding.


At any rate, my jam roll (despite not looking like the picture) is very yummy, and I must make it again sometime.



* My grammar guide informs me that "if I was" is perfectly acceptable in all circumstances except those deemed impossible. So you'd say "if I was hungry", but "if I were a flying pink unicorn".
When I say "if I were any good at folding flour", I use the "were" intentionally.
