CONDENSED MILK AND RASPBERRY SCROLLS
SERVES 12. PREP 20 MINS. COOK 1 HR 45 MINS.
INGREDIENTS
• 375g (2 ½ cups) self-raising flour
• 60g cold butter, chopped
• 395g can sweetened condensed milk
• 115g (1/3 cup) raspberry jam
• 125g fresh or thawed frozen raspberries
• Icing sugar, to dust
• vanilla custard, to serve
METHOD
1 Place flour and butter in a bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until evenly combined. Make a well in the centre. Pour the condensed milk into the centre and use a flat-bladed knife to stir until the mixture starts to come together.
2 Use your hands to press the dough into a rectangle. Roll out on a sheet of baking paper to about 20 x 30cm. Spread the dough with the jam and scatter over the raspberries. Starting from a long side, roll up to enclose the raspberries. 3 Cut the log into 12 thick slices (trim off the ends first, to neaten, if you like). Line a 5.5L slow cooker with a large sheet of baking paper, allowing it to come about halfway up the side. Arrange the scrolls over the base of the slow cooker. Lay a tea towel over the top, then put on the lid. Fold the overhanging tea towel up so it sits on the lid, not hanging down the side of the slow cooker.
4 Cook on High for 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes or until the scrolls are lightly golden and cooked through. Use the paper to transfer to a board. Set aside to cool slightly. Dust with icing sugar and serve with custard.
THE Taroona high buses with standing students’ issue (Mercury, February 9) will soon be fixed. With 1116 students there are two, even three schools with plenty of capacity closer to their homes that they can attend. Taroona is 6km south of the Hobart municipal boundary and with a parent lobby group succeeding in having New Town and Ogilvie coeducational, what’s the issue? Cosgrove is up the
road, with less than 200 enrolments. School zones will be changed now political responsibility has been transferred from the minister to the department secretary.
Unfortunately, no one knows whether New Town and Ogilvie will run as stand-alone schools as others
do, operate as they did in 2020 sharing classes, run year 7/8 at Ogilvie and 9/10 at New Town without mentioning Y11/12, whether they will be combined and have just one principal and administrative support in future years or even whether one might close as numbers drop with Sorell being upgraded and Brighton starting its own school.
Incredibly this was not established when the announcement was made, so who now will decide how they operate? Students attending the four primary schools north of the city will soon be redirected away from Taroona High to the two schools north of the city. Terry Polglase
