Rúllutertur
simple, old-fashioned
goodness
Kristin’s Kitchen
Kristin Olafson-Jenkyns
Dundas, ON
Sometimes simple is best.
Rúlluterta, or jelly roll, is a
dessert or coffee-time treat that
pleases all ages. It is quick,
easy and made with ingredients
that are on hand. If you want to
fancy it up, consider unusual
jellies or jams for the filling
and top with complementary
flavoured whipped cream or ice
cream.
My only advice is that you
watch it carefully while baking
and don’t answer the phone (as
I have done) after removing
from the pan. You do have to
work quickly.
Ingibjorg Olafson’s
Rúlluterta (Jelly Roll)

1 1/4 cup wliite sugar
2 tbsp. cream
2 tbsp. cold water
lcup flour

pare cookie sheet, 11 x 17 x
1 inches, by lining with wax

add 1 cup of the white sugar
a little at a time and beat

stir well (do not beat). Add
remaining flour mixture and
Stir until well balanced.
4. Pour into lined cookie sheet

minutes or until the cake

sprinkled with 1/4 cup white
sugar. Allow to cool slightly.
Spread with strawberry jam
and gently roll using the tea

Just trying it out

When I was about 14
years old, I was sent out to
fetch grandpa Guðmundur
Jónsson frá Húsey (the
author of the book Að
vestan) for coffee. Afi was a
fine carpenter, blacksmith,
weatherman, farmer, etc.,
and he was busily putting the
finishing touches on his own
coffin!
1 saunter into his shop,
and there afi lies, in his cof-
ftn, looking for all the world,
stone dead (aft was very old,
wrinkled and hairy). Well,
my heels hit the floor with a
bang. I stare at the dear old
man, note his chest lift up, so
I creep over and say: “Kaf-
fitúni, cifir He awakes and,
with a shy little smile, says,
“I was just trying it out!”

Rúllutertur, or jelly rolls, can be made with a wide variety of fillings.
continue to roll the tea towel
around the filled cake and let
cool completely.
Any kind of jam that you
may prefer (e.g. strawberry,
raspberry, lingonberry, cherry
or lemon filling) may be used
as ftllings. Serve in slices. It
may also be garnished with
whipped cream or ice cream as
desired.
