Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift the self-raising flour. Add the unsalted butter and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk. Use a butter knife to gently mix until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 30cm x 20cm (12 inches x 8 inches).
Spread the Vegemite evenly over the dough using the back of a spoon or a butter knife.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the Vegemite layer.
Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 even slices and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush the tops of the scrolls lightly with extra milk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the scrolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
