Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Mix the flours and baking powder in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt, if you like. Add the butter and rub with your fingertips until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs (or use a food processor). Stir in ½ of the cheese and make a well in the centre.
  2. Whisk the remaining ingredients together and pour into the well. With a cutlery knife, bring the mixture together to make a soft, but not sticky dough. Add a little more milk if the dough is too dry.
  3. 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. Put on a baking sheet, brush with milk and scatter over remaining cheese. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

    Just made these with my 9 year old daughter. We made them on a whim so thank you Elizabeth, I used extra milk instead of yoghurt. I also substituted the marmite for chives from the garden. Scrummy!!!

    This is a very easy recipe and even people who don't normally like Marmite, like my partner, seem to love these and say that the added Marmite adds a little something to the scones. It's hit and miss for me to be able to get scones to rise it seems, but that's a refection on my technique, not on the recipe.

    I used gluten free flour, but added an extra egg and a bit more baking powder and they came out brilliantly. My dad, recently diagnosed as having coeliac disease loved them and said they tasted 'normal'!! Apparently a very great compliment!
