  • Preparation: 30 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (110 g)
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 20 g Sugar
  • 20 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 10 g Butter, unsalted
  • 35 g Jam

Method

  1. Makes 1 slice; multiply by 10 for a whole roll. Beat the egg and sugar until pale and thick, then fold in the flour and melted butter to make a thin, smooth batter.
  2. Spread a thin, even layer of the batter over a lined sheet pan and bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 5-6 minutes until just set but still pale; repeat to bake all the layers needed for the roll, one at a time.
  3. While each sheet is still warm and pliable, spread it with a thin layer of the guava paste (jam here), warmed slightly to spread easily.
  4. Roll the first sheet up tightly from one edge, then continue wrapping each next guava-spread sheet around the outside of the roll, building one thick spiral log.
  5. Wrap tightly and let cool completely, then slice crosswise to reveal the tight spiral of thin layers.
