Marmite & Cheddar Cheese Scones

I made scones for the first time yesterday and they turned out great. Then I obviously had the idea of introducing Marmite and @philmarquis suggested the cheddar cheese part… Here is my recipe for Marmite  Cheddar Cheese Scones .

Ingredients

• 225g of self raising flour
• Pinch of salt
• 55g of butter
• 25g of grated mature cheddar cheese
• 150ml of whole milk
• 4tsp of Marmite

In a large bowl add the flour, salt and butter. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the cheddar cheese.

In a separate container, mix the Marmite with the milk. Make a small well in the centre of the breadcrumbs and mix in the milk and Marmite gradually with a knife until you have a soft dough.( only use enough of the mix to get the required consistency). Then place on a floured board and knead , pat down with your hands until the dough is 2cm thick. Using a 5cm pastry cutter, cut the dough and then place onto a lightly floured baking tray (plain flour). The mixture should make around 8 scones.

Lightly dust the scones with plain flour and bake at 200ºc for around 20mins or until cooked and golden.

Enjoy!
