Oooo don’t you just love warm things out of the oven? Mmm. These are so simple, and would be really fun to make with the older kids. I made two batches while Harry cheered me on from the highchair, one with tomato and cheese and the other vegemite and cheese. They worked out beautifully and would be a great change from the classic sandwich in pre-school lunch boxes. There have got to be a million different ways you could make these. Sweet apple cinnamon, or Nutella… savoury tomato herb and feta… eeek, I can feel a pick ‘n’ mix coming on.

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-raising flour (try wholemeal)
• 30g butter, chopped
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tbs vegemite
• 3/4 cup grated tasty cheese
• Extra milk, to glaze

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. -

Step 2

Sift flour into a bowl. Using fingertips, rub the butter into flour until you have a fine breadcrumb consistency. Add the milk and knead until a soft dough forms. -

Step 3

Roll out to a 30cm x 20cm rectangle. Spread Vegemite over the dough and then sprinkle the cheese. Roll up firmly and place onto tray seam side down. -

Step 4

Using clean scissors, cut into top of dough at 3cm intervals (don't cut all the way through). Brush with milk. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. -
