Sharing fooooooooood! ^_^
Yeah. I made this last night and thought someone out there might like to try it. It's a recipe that's been passed down for generations. I know there's probably other versions floating around out there, but I don't know what they'd be called; we've always called it Roly-Poly.
Since 'tis the season for it (rhubarb and strawberry), I thought I'd share. It's quick, easy, and one of my favorite desserts (probably because I don't make it that often! =_=;;).
Enjoy!
Rhubarb-Strawberry Roly-Poly
Syrup
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
Dough
2 3/4 cups flour
4 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup shortening or butter
1 cup milk
Filling
*2 cups rhubarb, cut in 1/2" pieces
*1 cup strawberries, sliced
*These are approximate. I usually end up going half-and-half.
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp butter, softened
Preheat oven to 450F.
Syrup:
Combine sugar and water (syrup) in 13"x9" pan and mix until the sugar is dissolved.
Dough:
Mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in shortening. Add milk as needed until the ingredients are moist like pie crust. Knead lightly about 2 min. on floured surface. Roll out into ~10"x12" rectangle.
Roly-Poly:
Spread the softened butter on the dough rectangle, then sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon on top. Combine the rhubarb and strawberries, spread on dough.
Roll up lengthwise and seal edge. Cut into 12 1" pieces. Place pieces cut side down in pan with syrup.
Bake 25-30 min. Serve warm. Great with whipped cream or ice cream.
