   Pre-heat your oven to 200C Fan/220C/400F/Gas Mark 6, and line a baking tray with baking paper

   Mix the self raising flour and baking powder together a mixing bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the flour with your fingers or a fork ,until it resembles breadcrumbs

   Pour the rest of the marmite mixture into the flour and form a dough. If it's too dry, you can add an extra splash of milk

   Pat it out onto a clean work surface (or a silicone mat) dusted with flour to about 2cm thick and cut out the scones using a round cutter, size of your choice (I used a 2.5" one). Push the cutter straight down and do not twist it
