Cheese & Marmite Scones
The best way to eat these is to warm them up and add lashings of butter. Serves 8-10 Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 10-12 minutes Ingredients 280 g self-raising flour 1 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 50 g cold butter, cut into cubes 75 g mature cheddar, grated (plus 50g extra for topping) 1 egg 1 ½ tbsp Marmite 5 tbsp milk, plus extra to glaze Preparation method Heat oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/gas mark 7. Mix the flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl with the salt. Add the butter and rub with your fingertips until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs (or use a food processor). Stir in 75g of the cheese and make a well in the centre. Whisk the egg, marmite and milk together and pour into the well and bring the mixture together to make a soft, but not sticky dough. Add a little more milk if the dough is too dry. Turn onto a floured surface, then roll out to about 2cm thick. Stamp out 4 scones using a round cutter, then gather the trimmings and repeat until all the dough has been used....
