Servings : Makes 7 rolls
Crumbly, sweet (but not overwhelmingly so) and super delicious pastries that work so beautifully for breakfast and would be heavenly for dessert with a scoop of ice-cream! Heck these yummies would be perfect any old time of the day. Great as a snack, perfect for picnics, or when you have one of those midnight cravings! 😉
The best thing about them is, they are soooo easy to make that you can prepare them with your kids!
Ingredients for Filling
- 1 sweet apple, peeled and cored then grated
- 1 heaped tsp. demerara sugar (light brown sugar)
- 1 pinch cinnamon powder
Ingredients for Dough
- 1 cup self-rising flour (OR 1 cup all-purpose flour plus 1 tsp. baking powder)
- 2 tbsp. butter, COLD (30 gm)
- 1 tbsp. castor sugar (you can grind normal sugar instead)
- 4 tbsp. single cream (or 2 tbsp. evaporated milk and 2 tbsp. sour cream)
- pinch of salt
- ice cold water
Instructions
STEP 1: Prepare the Filling. Mix ingredients for filling and set aside
STEP 2: Prepare the Dough. Sieve the flour, add the salt and butter, then rub together using your fingertips until crumbly. Add the castor sugar and mix together using a fork. Then add the cream or evaporated milk and sour cream a little at a time and mix to combine. If need be, add icy cold water until the dough comes together smoothly. Do not over-knead, Roll out the dough to a rectangular shape, then spread out your filling from step 1 (previous pic). Make sure you do not add any of the liquid that gets released by the grated apple. Start rolling from the long side, like a swiss roll until you have a tube.
STEP 3: Slice your roll into 7 pieces of equal size. You can use a string or dental floss to cut neatly. Place the rolls on a buttered pan with space between them. Sprinkle with a little more demerara/brown sugar.
Bake immediately at 200 C for 20-25 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

Hi! Not sure what exactly you mean, cups of baking powder? Did you follow the recipe accurately? Made any changes at all?
Hi please let me know the brand of evaporated milk & sour cream you use??
Every country has its own brands. I used Luna Evaporated Milk and Dairy Fresh Sour Cream.
If we dont have any cream what can we use instead? or it is better to put the cream?what kind of cream is it? cooking or any other?
Cooking cream will be fine, otherwise single cream is good too.

W/Salaam, best to mix half wheat flour and half plain flour otherwise the results will be a bit too dense/hard.
Can I make this with sweet
Can I make this with sweet mangoes?..will it become too soggy?
Yes mangoes would make it
Yes mangoes would make it soggy, the filling needs to be a bit on the dry side.
