Vegemite gives a deep savoury flavour to these tasty pinwheel cheddar cheese scones - perfect for afternoon tea or a simple snack.

Ingredients

450 g plain flour plus extra for dusting

1 tbsp baking powder

3 tsp vegemite

1 large egg

about 250 ml milk

1 tbsp sunflower oil

140 g mature cheddar, grated

100 g full-fat cream cheese

Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan and dust a baking tray with a little flour. Mix the flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Put 1 tsp Vegemite 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 Vegemite.
  2. Tip 85g of the cheddar into a bowl and mix with the cream cheese and remaining Vegemite to make a spread. Toss the rest of the cheese though 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 × 25cm. Spread with the Vegemite 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 8 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. Best eaten on the day they are made.
