I've been wanting to make these for some time, so I finally got the recipe from the Huggies website and whipped up a batch for afternoon tea. They were a huge hit with the whole family and really easy to make. My sister also makes a variation of these, where she spreads tomato sauce on the dough, then sprinkles ham and cheese on top, as a pizza scroll - just as delicious!
Ingredients
3 cups S.R. flour
2 tbsp Vegemite
Pinch Salt
50g butter
200g grated cheese
375 ml milk
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 220C.
Sift flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture looks like fine bread-crumbs. Stir in enough milk to make a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured board.
Roll to form a rectangle that is roughly 40cm x 25cm. Spread vegemite over the dough using a blunt knife. Sprinkle 3/4 of the cheese over the top.
Roll up the dough starting from a long side first. Cut 10 × 4cm pieces from the roll. Place these pieces close together, cut side up on a greased baking tray.
Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top. Bake in the oven for 15-20 min.
Hey Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Gemma recently put me on to it when I was asking for a play dough recipe. I definitely want to try these cheesy vegemite scrolls but have never been real good at working with pastry so if you have any further tips or advice I would welcome them :-) Hope you and your family are well! Emma (as in your sister Fiona's friend Kate's sister and Gemma's friend from school - if that gives you any connection at all!)
Hehe thanks Emma - and yes, I've made the connection now! Glad you're enjoying the blog!
ReplyDeleteI find this kind of pastry quite easy because it's just flour (rather than the whole yeast thing, and having to knead and rest etc) - but a good tip is definitely to NOT overwork the mixture. Just mix until combined and it's the right consistency (not too wet or it'll stick to the bench) - don't be tempted to over-knead!
Hope that makes sense...good luck, let me know how you go! xo
