Here's something easy when you get a sugar craving and feel like something sweet with your mid morning or afternoon tea, the ingredients are just basic pantry ingredients AND, it isn't too fattening either..(if you can just stick to one scroll!)
- 2 C self-raising flour
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1/4 tsp mixed spice
- 60g chilled butter, cubed
- 125ml milk
- 1/3 C sultanas
- 1 large apple, peeled, cored, coarsely grated
chocolate icing:
- 1/4 cup icing sugar mixture
- 1 Tb cocoa powder
- 1 Tb milk
- Place flour, sugar and mixed spice in a large bowl. Use your fingers to rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Make a well in the centre and add the milk and sultanas. Use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until evenly incorporated and the mixture just comes together.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 2 minutes or until smooth.
- Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out dough into a 25 x 30cm rectangle. Sprinkle with apple. Starting from the long side, firmly roll dough into a log. Trim the ends. Cut crossways into twelve 2cm thick slices. Arrange scrolls cut-side up, side by side on prepared tray.
- Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
- Meanwhile, to make the chocolate icing, combine the icing sugar and cocoa powder in a small bowl. Add the milk and stir until combined and smooth.
- Drizzle scrolls with chocolate icing and serve immediately.
