- Treacle Scones
8 oz (225g)
self-raising flour
Pinch of salt
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon ground mixed spice
½ oz (15g) dark soft brown sugar
1oz (25g) butter
2 tablespoons black treacle
¼ pint (150ml) milk
Flour a baking pot lightly.
Sift together the flour, salt, soda and spice, and stir in the sugar. Rub
in the butter until the mixture is like coarse breadcrumbs. Mix with the
treacle and milk to give a soft dough. Roll out on a floured board to ½
in (1.25cm) thick. Cut into 2 in (5cm) rounds with a plain cutter. Put the
scones on to the baking-sheet so that they just touch each other. Bake for
15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and serve split and buttered. |
