Swiss Roll

A fine swiss roll with jam is one of the favorite recipes of our mothers and grandmothers, and I also like to prepare it for my daughter. This soft biscuit roll is made from only a few ingredients, which are also affordable, and gives a full and generous taste. And how good it is is confirmed by the fact that it always disappears in an instant.

Although this is a simple recipe, you will find a whole range of different variations on how to make it. This applies especially to the folding of the roll itself, which is always the most delicate part for this dessert to turn out just the way it should. I make it in the traditional way, with which you can be sure that it will always work and that the biscuit will never crack.

Swiss Roll with Jam – a proven recipe of our mothers and grandmothers

The roll is folded while it is still hot, right after it is taken out of the oven. In addition, it is wrapped in a damp kitchen towel, which is a useful old trick. When it cools down, it is first unwrapped, then coated with jam. After that, the roll is easily rolled once more into the final shape. If desired, you can also sprinkle sugar on top, but you don’t have to – make it as you prefer.

The biscuit is extremely soft and tasty, and you can use it for all kinds of biscuit rolls and different fillings. Various jams and jams, but also Nutella and similar chocolate spreads will be perfect. However, my favorite version is the swiss roll with jam, probably because I’m used to it, and when served with a cup of milk or cocoa, it has no equal.
