Super Scrolls!

I never know what to call these, are they scrolls? Scone logs? Any who they are delicious and easy! You may have seen my previous strawberry scroll? That is pretty damn good, but here are two more variations on the scone log that will have you jumping for joy (or laying on the couch loosening your belt!)

Firstly we have the Nutella and Strawberry Scrolls


These are gooey and chocolatey and would make a spectacular dessert fresh out of the oven with cream :)

All you need is

1 pkt of pastry mix prepared as directed(cheating cheating cheating)
About half a cup of nutella
About half a cup of strawberry jam
Half a cup of sliced strawberries
40g of butter
2 tbspns caster sugar

Preheat oven to 160C fan forced and line a baking tray with grease proof paper.
Melt the butter and sugar together in the microwave and stir to combine. Set aside to cool.
Roll your pastry mix out into a nice rectangle.
Spread the nutella evenly over the pastry, leaving a 2 cm gap around the long edges.
Spread the strawberry jam over the nutella and scatter with strawberries.
Start from the long edge closest to you and roll the pastry into a tight log. You may experience some leakage and some over flow but thats all good.
Try and bring the ends of your log together and seal to form a ring.
Carefully move to your baking tray and brush with the melted butter and sugar mix. Bake for around 20-25 mins or until golden.
I always get too excited and try and cut it up before it cools - bad idea - you end up with nutella and jam everywhere so be patient, let it cool and then cut it up!

Next we have the Apple and Cinnamon Scroll


Very similar - but not as likely to make your teeth fall out as the first one!

1 box of pastry mix prepared as directed
3/4 cup of stewed apple (I used pie apple so it was chunky but I think the stewed apple would have worked better)
80g butter
1/3 cup caster sugar
2 tbspn brown sugar
cinnamon

Preheat oven to 160C fan forced and line a baking tray with grease proof paper.
Melt the butter and sugar together in the microwave and stir to combine. Set aside to cool.
Roll your pastry mix out into a nice rectangle.
Spread the apple over the pastry, leaving a 2cm gap on your long edges.
Pour about 3/4 of your butter mixture over the apple and sprinkle with the brown sugar.
Start from the long edge closest to you and roll the pastry into a tight log. You may experience some leakage and some over flow but thats all good, just try and avoid any massive splits in your pastry. (Is there an echo in here?)
Try and bring the ends of your log together and seal to form a ring.
Carefully move to your baking tray. Sprinkle some cinnamon into the remaining butter mix and stir to combine.
Brush the ring with the cinnamon butter mix and bake for around 20-25 mins or until golden.
Remember not to cut up until cool! Unless you want to have it hot out of the oven for dessert - in which case go for it, just cover it with cream and ice cream if it falls apart!!

And this week these recipes are also featured over at Sweet As Sugar Cookies!

It's been a long weekend here and I had an RDO on Friday so after 4 days off I am not keen on going back to work tomorrow at all. But apparently I need to work so I can keep baking lol and buying shoes....and clothes...I'm never ever going to be able to retire am I!?
