- Sieve the flour, baking powder and icing sugar into a large bowl.
- Add the cold butter cut into pieces and rub with the dry ingredients until it reaches sand like consistency.
- When the butter is well incorporated, add the egg lightly beaten and start mixing by hand until dough consistency. (Don't be tempted to add any liquid because the mixture will combine into a nice smooth dough). Once this is formed, cover with cling film and let rest in the fridge for about an hour.
- When it's time, roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to a 5p coin thickness. If you choose to use two different fillings, divide the dough into equal parts.
- Spread the filling to the edges of the rolled out pastry and start rolling the dough on itself. Wash the dough with milk and sprinkle with some sugar crystals or granulated sugar.
- Bake for about 25 minutes in Gas oven mark 4 - or electric 180 degrees C.
