Ingredients:
- 500 ml (2 cups) cake flour
- 15 ml baking powder
- 2 ml (¼ tsp) Spur Biltong Spice
- 125 g butter or margarine

- 45 ml (3 Tbsp) butter or margarine, melted
- 15 ml (1 Tbsp) Marmite
- 125 ml (½ cup) finely grated cheddar cheese
Instructions:
Sift flour, baking powder and Spur Biltong Spice together. Rub in butter with fingertips until mixture resembles fine beadcrumbs. Add cheese.
