3 Eggs
4oz Caster Sugar
4oz Self Raising Flour
2 Tablespoons Boiling Water
Jam

Place some greaseproof paper on a worktop and sprinkle some caster sugar on it. Place the sponge on the sugar and remove the lining paper. Trim the edges of the sponge and add then spoon the jam onto the sponge and spread out, leaving a little border of clean sponge all around. Too much jam will result in it all oozing out when you roll up. Roll the sponge up and leave to cool with the seam face down.
