Tongan Pie (Jelly Roll) image

This is a recipe that is infamous among Tongans. We call it Tongan Pie but it is more like a jelly roll. Use your favorite jelly or jam, peach/pineapple and grape are popular favorites. Also can roll out the dough & use biscuit cutter to make tarts instead. I'm submitting here so I won't lose the recipe again!

Time 55m

Yield 3 pies/jelly rolls

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cups margarine (cold)
3 eggs
1/2-3/4 cup milk (cold)

Steps:

  • Mix flour, sugar & powder well.
  • Cut margarine in small cubes (cut long ways then short ways for tiny cubes).
  • Throw margarine cubes into flour, then work it into flour until evenly broken up--much like making a pie crust.
  • Add eggs (mix first in separate bowl) and rub together until even.
  • Add milk & mix until not sticky but balls up.
  • Roll out on floured surface about 1/4-1/3" thick.
  • Spread with jam or jelly on entire surface leaving 1/2 " space along edges.
  • Roll dough into one large log & fold ends under to keep jelly from oozing out.
  • Transfer to foil lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 275 degrees for 45 minutes.
