Treacle Scones

"These scones are best served hot with lashings of butter."

Ingredients:

• 3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 3/4 cup treacle (molasses)
• 1 cup milk, or as needed

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Sift the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and sugar into a bowl. Rub in butter until it is in crumb-sized pieces. Make a well in the center and pour in the treacle and milk. Stir into a soft dough. Roll out on a floured surface and cut in to rounds with a biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet.
3. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
