Step 1
Mix flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Cut in 3 tbsp cold butter until mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Stir in milk until a soft dough comes together. Knead 5 times on a floured surface, then roll into a 10×8-inch rectangle.
Step 3
Spread jam evenly over the dough. Roll tightly from a long side, then cut into 4 equal rolls.
Step 4
Melt remaining 3 tbsp butter in a 9-inch round cake pan or cast iron skillet. Stir in sugar and coat the bottom.
Step 5
Place rolls seam-side down in the pan. Bake at 375°F until golden and puffed, about 12–15 minutes.
Step 6
Cool 2 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
