Cheese Whirls

I cannot lay claim to this being my own recipe. The original recipe was in todays "Daily Mail" suppliment. However, this is an adaption of the original due to my own personal tastes, and the experience I had making the recipe as originaly written.

If you do not like Marmite, or cannot get hold of it in your country, try using Gentlemans Relish, Worcester Sauce, or a nice bottled brown sauce, such as HP sauce instead.

CHEESE WHIRLS

makes 12 – 15

6oz plain flour
salt and pepper
½ teaspoon mustard powder (or use wasabi powder)
2oz butter
2oz grated mature cheddar cheese
1 large egg
marmite/vegemite (or worcester sauce)

1.pre heat oven to 180*c/gas mark 4
2.Lightly grease a baking sheet
3.Sift the flour with the salt, pepper and mustard powder into a bowl
4.Rub in the butter.
5.Add the grated cheese and stir into the dry ingredients until thoroughly mixed
6.Gradually add the beaten egg to the mix to form a dough. (if more moisture is needed add a few drops of milk)
7.Roll out the dough to ¼ inch thick oblong.
8.Spread with the marmite.
9.Roll up from the long side to form a Swiss roll.
10.Cut into thick slices and place on the baking tray.
11.Brush with milk.
12.Bake until golden in colour and firm to the touch.
13.Allow to cool and eat within 3 days. Store in an airtight box.

The tray will be very greasy when this comes out of the oven. Remove from tray as soon as they come out of the oven. They will be too greasy if allowed to cool on the baking tray.
