Swiss Roll /Jelly Roll / Jam Roll

In a deep bowl, add the whites and 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Beat till stiff peaks form with a whisk/ hand blender/ stand mixer.

Now set this aside until needed. In another bowl, take the yolks and add the remaining 1/4 cup powdered sugar and beat with a whisk until it's pale and yellow in color.

Now combine both the whipped yolks and whites together and beat again for a couple of mins. Later add the flour, melted butter and vanilla essence. Beat again until it is completely combined.

Now line a baking sheet preferably 15 × 9 inch pan with parchment paper and transfer the batter on to it. Spread it evenly and tap a couple of times to release the air bubbles.

Now bake this in a preheated oven at 140°C / 284°F approximately for exactly 12 mins. While it's still warm cut the uneven edges and invert it over to a wet kitchen towel. Peel off the parchment paper and roll gently.

Place this in the refrigerator for 10 mins. Later unwrap the roll carefully and spread jam/ preserve of your choice, if the jam is too thick to spread, heat in a microwave for couple of seconds, then continue spreading.

Once the jam is spread roll and slice. A perfect Swiss roll is ready to dig in.
