I had loads of these as scones over Xmas with buffets and stuff. Also did some with Marmite in which was quite nice.

8.5st lighter!
I love seeing all the new ideas with these. I do love them cold.
The whole food abuse issue. It's potato based so far more sensible to have them as part of your meal and eat until full. But as I see it I'm better off snacking on these if hungry than I am cracking open a packet of crisps. My consultant agrees.
These scones are the new marmite, you either love them or hate them!
I like them as a cheats cheese and potato pie with a baked bean mountain and a quorn sausage. I will definitely be trying the quorn burger bap, that looked fab and it should suit me as I love these scones cold, thanks for that.

Not tried them yet, I saw this and thought I could do something similar with Smash. If I roll out a flat layer of dough, smear a layer of Marmite over it, cut it into strips and twist it? Maybe could sprinkle a bit of grated cheese over the Marmite too before twisting it? (Not doing it with that soup though, Ive got a spicy tomato one Im gonna try). Wont be til next week though I dont think.
I was gonna try something similar at Xmas, I thought rol it out flat, smear it with Marmite, roll it up like a Swiss roll then slice it. You'd get Marmite pinwheels! Didn't try it in the end as in my zeal I chucked too much Marmite in the initial mix and it went a bit sticky
so I just had Marmite scones

Oh my god they look amazing
Have been waiting to see if you had made them.
Did the mixture roll and twist easily ?? I haven't tried rolling it out yet.
You have made my tummy rumble in anticipation
Noo! It was an absolute bladdy nightmare!
:8855: TOTAL nightmare. Did the usual recipe (1 pack Smash, 1 pack cottage cheese, 3 eggs, 50g cheese) and tried to roll it out AGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! :sigh:
I could get it rolled out flat, its just it refused to stick together and just kept sliding all over the shop! The first half I tried to make Marmite pinwheels with, so I rolled out it into a long oblong, spread with Marmite and tried to roll it up like a Swiss roll and then slice it - it was HAVING NONE OF IT!
Too much Marmite but also the mix is too soggy and doesnt stick together. The other half I rolled out flat but a bit thinner and put on only a really teeny layer of Marmite, then sprinkled 30g more low fat cheddar over. Things were not looking too hot after the pinwheel experiment
and there was NO way they were going to actually twist, they just kept falling apart. So I rolled a third of them into long thin sausages, another third the same but I marked them with a knife so they at least *looked* a buit twisty and the final third I just left flat, like long thin flat bread sticks with Marmite & cheese on.The flat ones cooked really quickly and also kinda looked burnt (even though they werent really) cos of the Marmite. Both the other 2 were fine, but the ones with the knife marks in looked the best I reckon.
Basically it was too soggy, too much Marmite and the chunks in the cottage cheese and grated cheese dont help - so next time Id probably try whizzing it all first and grating the sprinkle-cheese-topping bit really finely. Also less eggs, LESS EGGS! :sigh:
Started off good:
Rule 1: Dont use too much Marmite:
Hmm... :sigh:
Mmmmagghhhhh... :sigh:
I'd lost the will to live at this point, so didnt put much effort into the twists as I thought it was all gonna be a write-off
Rule 2: Less Marmite:
Rule 3: grate cheese FINELY: :sigh:
Ah, yeah, moving swiftly on...
So yeah...
But. Regardless of what they looked like. They. TASTE. aMAZing! :drool:

Your too hard on yourself lol I for one think they look amazing and I can't wait to give them a go later in the week
Just one thing you said mix too wet I noticed you used 3 eggs I only use 2 as think that's what it said on original recipe at beginning of thread. So the next lot you make will be even better.

Ahhhh right, Ive written it down as 3 eggs for some reason. Well I think the biggest problem was the chunks in the cottage cheese really as it all broke up at that point every time, Ill whizz next time, see if that helps
Soooo yummy though!

You inspired me to make some with marmite to serve with my 12 speed soup tomorrow.
I didn't have any cottage cheese but did have quark so thought what the *ell I'll try it and not only did they work i prefer them and also quicker as didn't have to blitz cottage cheese.
Forgot to give the twist look but hey they still taste lovely.... Here you go
