Jelly Rolls

[i386]

Does anyone remember these? They used to be sold in the grocery store near the bread. I think they came in on the bread truck. I think there were 3 or 4 in a pack ( |@@@| ) and a little smaller than a fist. I'm not talking about those crappy ones Little Debbie sells. It might have said Jelly Nelly on the label but I'm not certain about that. Man I miss those and I can't find 'em anywhere. :'(

Yes I remember those and when I was a kid they were a local bakery type thing.

Make your own.

OLD FASHIONED JELLY ROLL

3 eggs
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1/3 c. water
1 t. vanilla
3/4 c. jam or preserves
confectioners sugar

Heat oven to 375.
Line roll pan (10 1/2 X 15 1/2) with aluminum foil or waxed paper. In small bowl, beat eggs about 5 minutes until very thick or lemon colored. Pour eggs into a larger mixing bowl, gradually add sugar.

On low speed blend in water and vanilla. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt, beat until batter is smooth. Pour into pan, spreading batter into corners.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Loosen cake from edges, invert on towel, sprinkle with confectioners sugar.

Carefully remove foil, trim off any hard edges if needed. While hot, roll cake and towel from narrow end.

Cool on wire rack. Unroll cake, remove towel. Beat jam or preserves to soften, spread over cake. Roll and sprinkle with confectioners sugar.

Re: Jelly Rolls

I just don't think making them will be the same. I used to get them at the grocery store. Then they disappeared. Then I found them at the "discount bread store". Then they disappeared. Now nobody seems to know what I'm talking about. Dang I miss 'em. I may have to break down and make some though.
