    Black Treacle Scones
     

     
    3 ⅔ cups All-purpose Flour
    2 tsp Baking Soda
    4 ½ tsp Cream Of Tartar
    ½ tsp Salt
    1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
    ¼ tsp Ground Allspice
    ¼ tsp Ground Cloves
    ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
    ¼ tsp Ground Ginger
    ½ cup Butter
    2 tbsp Molasses
    1 cup Milk
     

     
      • Preheat oven to 425° F (220° C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
      • In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cream of tarter, salt, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry blender. Combine milk and molasses in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll dough out into a ½ inch thick round. Cut out circles with a medium biscuit cutter and place pieces on prepared baking sheet so that they are barely touching.
      • Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Move to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. For soft scones, cover with a dry cloth for 10 minutes. For crisp scones, do not cover.
