no marmalade recipes handy, but do have this yummy one for biscuits!

~ Cheddar Cheese and Chive Biscuits ~

¼ cup fresh chives, chopped
2 cups Biscuit mix
¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
½ to 1 cup milk
2 Tbs milk for brushing tops of biscuits

Blend biscuit mix, cheese and chives together. Mix gently with milk
beginning with ½ cup and adding additional milk as needed to form a
soft ball. Turn onto floured board and gently knead 6 to 8 times. Roll
out ¾ inch thick and cut with biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly
greased baking sheet and brush tops with milk.
Bake at 450° for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
