Ingredients

14 servings
- •2 cups all-purpose flour
- •0.5 teaspoon salt
- •0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- •1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- •0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- •0.5 teaspoon mixed spice
- •2 tablespoons butter
- •2 tablespoons castor sugar or superfine sugar
- •1 tablespoon dark molasses or treacle
- •0.5 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set an oven shelf in the top third of the oven for baking.
- Sift the flour, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon and mixed spice into a large bowl. Rub in butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk and stir in the sugar and treacle until dissolved. Remove from the heat and pour into the dry ingredients. Stir until it turns into a soft dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Use a rolling pin to roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into 2 inch circles, rerolling dough until it has all been used. Place the scones on a lightly greased or floured baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottoms are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Serve split. Don't use a knife to split them, rather pull them apart into two halves gently with your hands.
