Cooking Tips

• Make sure the butter is cold when adding it to the flour mixture. This helps create a flaky texture in the dough.
• You can use any type of jam you prefer for the filling. Popular choices include strawberry, raspberry, and apricot.
• If you want a sweeter glaze, you can mix powdered sugar with a little milk and drizzle it over the cooled jam scrolls.

Storage and Serving

• Jam scrolls are best served warm, straight from the oven.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the scrolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
• These scrolls are great for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
