*Traditional Scottish Recipes*
 *- Treacle Scones*

*Treacle is known as molasses in some parts of the world and it features in a number of Scottish recipes.*

## Ingredients

- 8 oz self-raising flour (all-purpose flour with baking powder in USA)
- 2 oz butter
- 1 oz caster sugar (fine granulated sugar)
- Half a teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons black treacle (molasses) or golden syrup (light corn syrup)
- Pinch of salt
- Approximately quarter pint of milk

## Method

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and rub in the butter. Mix in the sugar, cinnamon, treacle or syrup and enough milk to make a soft dough. Knead this on a floured surface until it is both moist and elastic. Cut into rounds with a 2.5 inch pastry cutter. Grease a baking sheet (cookie sheet) and place the rounds on this. Brush with a little milk and bake for 10/15 minutes in an oven, pre-heated to 425F/220C/Gas Mark 7 until golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack and serve split in half with butter.
