RECIPES TO GET YOU STARTED…
Cheese and Marmite Scones (8)
Ingredients:
• 450g plain flour, plus extra
for dusting
• 1tbsp baking powder
• 3tsp Marmite
• 1 large egg
• 250ml milk
• 1tbsp sunflower oil
• 140g mature cheddar, grated
• 100g full-fat cream cheese
Method:
1. Heat oven to 200°C (fan) and
dust a baking tray with a little
flour. Mix the flour and baking
powder in a large bowl. Put 1tsp
Marmite in a jug, add the egg and
make up to 300ml with the milk.
Stir in the oil, then beat really well
to dissolve the Marmite.
2. Tip 85g of cheddar into a bowl
and mix with the cream cheese
and remaining Marmite to make
a spread. Toss the rest of the
cheese through the flour mixture

then pour in the milk mixture and
stir with the blade of a knife until
it comes together. (You need to
work quickly once you’ve added
the liquid, as it activates the
baking powder.) Tip onto a lightly
floured work surface and gently
knead the mix taking care not to
overwork it, as it will make the
scones heavy.
3. Press or lightly roll the dough
into an oblong about 20 x 25cm.
Spread with the Marmite mixture
and roll up from the longest side
to create a tight, fat cylinder. Pat
the ends of the cylinder to
straighten them, then slice into
eight pinwheels and put on the
baking tray, patting them to make
flattish rounds. Bake for 12-15
mins until golden and cooked.
4. Leave for a few mins on the
tray to allow the cheese centre
to harden a little, then transfer
to a wire rack to cool. Eat warm
or cold.
