Marmite & Cheddar Cheese Nibbles

With the school holidays now upon us, a great way of keeping children entertained is to get them involved in the kitchen. It’s fun and also allows them to be creative.

This simple Marmite and cheese nibbles recipe is ideal for kids to prepare (always under adult supervision).

Ingredients

• 100g plain flour
• 50g unsalted butter
• 50g grated mature cheddar cheese
• 15ml cold water
• 1 heaped tsp Marmite

Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl. Add the butter and, using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

In a separate cup, mix the cold water with the Marmite and add to the mix.  Add then the cheese and stir with a fork until it forms a smooth dough.

Divide the mixture into about 12 to 14 parts and roll each part in your hand to make small rolls of approximately 1cm thick. Alternatively, roll out on a floured board to 1cm thick and cut to any shape you like (kids will usually prefer to make their own shapes: e.g. stars, hearts, etc.).

Place on a greased baking tray in a pre-heated oven at 200ºc for approximately 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Happy cooking
