Cheese & Marmite Scones

My dad introduced me to Marmite when I was growing up and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve made him these Cheese & Marmite Scones many times which I think is the perfect way to thank him! It’s a rare Marmite lover that isn’t aware of the fantastic flavour combination that is created when Marmite and cheese mix together. It’s one of my favourite things and if you love Marmite and have never had it with cheese… well get in the kitchen right now and discover how amazing it is!! And while you’re there, you can make these Cheese & Marmite Scones too!

Step by step…

I started by mixing self raising flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl. I added butter and rubbed it into the flour with my fingers until it resembled breadcrumbs. Then I added about two thirds of the mature cheddar and stirred in.

In another bowl I whisked together egg, milk and marmite. I poured the wet marmite mixture into the flour and formed a dough. I patted it out to about 2cm thick and cut out the scones.

I laid the scones onto a baking tray, glazed with a little milk and sprinkled on the remaning cheddar. They baked for 10 minutes until golden brown.

Tips for making the Cheese & Marmite Scones:

• Depending on how big a cutter you use, you will get a different amount of scones. I used a 2.5″ (60mm) one and got 6 scones.
• When you cut the scones out, push the cutter down and do not twist it. Twisting the cutter will stop the scones from rising.
• When glazing the scones, try not to let the glaze dribble down the side of the scone, as this will also affect the rise.
