6-8
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs strawberries, hulled, washed and drained
- 2⁄3 cup strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
-
Bisuit Dough
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces cold butter, cut into 1/2 inch dice
- 3⁄4 cup cold milk
directions
- First prepare the biscuit dough: Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt.
- Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal (with some lumps the size of peas).
- Drizzle the milk evenly over the dry ingredients and work in with fork just until incorporated and the dough forms small clumps.
- Turn out the dough onto a work surface and knead once or twice to gather it into a mass – DO NOT OVERWORK THE DOUGH – pat into a rectangle.
- The dough can be made up to 2 hour ahead; wrap tightly and refrigerate.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and line the oven floor with foil to catch any drippings.
- Spread the strawberries on paper towels to dry.
- In a small bowl, stir the jam to loosen it.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and keep it warm.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, tapioca, spices and sugar.
- Halve any very large berries.
- Gently toss the berries with the dry ingredients.
- On a lightly-floured surface, roll out the biscuit dough into a 10 by 18-inch rectangle.
- Square off the corners.
- Brush the dough lightly with about half the melted butter.
- Using a spatula, spread the jam over the rectangle, leaving a ½-inch border on one long side.
- Starting at the opposite long side, roll up the dough jellyroll fashion and pinch the seam closed.
- Roll the log so that it is an even diameter, 18-inches long; turn the log seam side down.
- Quarter the log, then cut each quarter into 3 equal pieces so that there will be 12 rolls in all.
- Give the strawberry filling a couple of gently folds to remix and spoon into a 9 inch glass pie plate and smooth the top as well as you can.
- Arrange 8 biscuits around the perimeter of the pie dish and the remaining 4 biscuits into the center.
- Don’t push the biscuits down into the strawberries.
- Bake the Strawberry Rolls for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden-brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350°F, loosely cover the Rolls with foil and bake for 15 minutes longer.
- Cool for 30 minutes before serving.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
