Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Originally known as suety Jack in the Potteries, this pudding can be boiled, steamed or baked. You can use any jam but it should be sturdy and thick enough to hold up to the steaming. Using a normal pan or steamer, allow 1 1/2 hours and wrap it loosely in a cloth, tied at each end. If you would rather bake the roly poly, put it on a greased baking tray and bake it at 220°C/Gas mark 7 for 40 minutes.

150g self raising flour
A pinch of salt
75g shredded beef suet (vegetarian if you prefer)
100-150ml cold water
300g thick jam, plus extra to dollop on top
Mix the flour, salt and suet together and mix in enough water to make a firm dough. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured table to about 15cm square. Spread thickly with the jam then roll up tightly. Wrap loosely in cling film then in foil. Most pressure cookers come with a little removable compartment for vegetables, turn it upside down, or use a heat proof dish. Put about 3-4cm water in the pressure cooker and sit the roly poly on top. Secure the lid, bring up to pressure and cook for 30 minutes.
Unwrap the roly poly and slice thickly and serve with extra jam if you like plus thick custard or double cream.
