Fruit Roly Poly

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
pinch salt
125g butter
about 1/2 cup milk

Sift flour and salt. Rub in butter and mix to a medium/dry dough with milk.
Knead on a floured board.
Roll out and cover with drained fruit.
Roll up as for swiss-roll and cut into pieces.
Arrange in a greased oven-proof dish.

Fillings
Dried mixed fruit, fruit mince, crushed pineapple, apricots, spiced apples - or a mixture of all.

Sauces
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup fruit syrup
50g butter

or (and this is the nicest)
1 scant cup sugar
1 cup water
50g butter
2 tbsp lemon juice

Make sauce by heating all ingredients together until boiling.
Pour over the rolls, being careful not to have the sauce more than 3/4'' from the top of the dish as it may boil over.
Bake at decreasing heat 30-40 minutes in a hot oven
