Butter: For a rich, flaky dough that melts in your mouth.
Milk: Adds moisture to the dough and helps bring everything together.
Vegemite or Marmite: The secret ingredient! This iconic spread adds a savory, umami punch that pairs perfectly with cheese.
Cheese: Grated cheddar cheese is the classic choice, but feel free to mix it up with your favorite cheese.
Optional: A pinch of salt for extra flavor and a little extra butter for brushing on top before baking.

Instructions
Let’s get started on these cheesy, savory scrolls!
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). This ensures your scrolls bake evenly and turn golden brown.
Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the butter and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually pour in the milk and stir until the dough just comes together.
Roll Out the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread Vegemite and Cheese: Spread a thin layer of Vegemite or Marmite across the dough. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheddar cheese over the top. Be sure to cover the dough evenly with both.
Roll the Dough: Starting from one edge of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough up into a tight log. Once it’s rolled, slice it into individual scrolls, about 1 inch wide.
Bake to Perfection: Place the scrolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finishing Touches: Remove from the oven and brush with a little melted butter for a golden, glossy finish.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy these cheesy, savory scrolls with a cup of tea or as a snack anytime you need something indulgent.
