Time 30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon mixed spice
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons castor sugar or superfine sugar
1 tablespoon dark molasses or treacle
½ cup milk

Steps:

  • 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.

360g self-raising flour (plus extra for dusting) (2 ¾ cups)
2 tbsp light brown sugar
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp nutmeg
60g butter (cold, chopped) (1/4 cup + 1 tsp)
2 tbsp black treacle

TREACLE SCONES



Treacle Scones image

Categories     Bread     Dairy     Fruit     Bake     Currant     Spring     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried currants
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dark molasses (do not use blackstrap)
3/4 cup buttermilk
Melted butter
Sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Sift flour, dark brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and salt into large bowl. Add dried currants. Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter with dark molasses in heavy small saucepan over low heat. Combine molasses mixture with buttermilk and pour into dry ingredients. Mix dough until just blended.
  • Gently knead dough on generously floured surface until smooth, about 20 turns. Divide dough in half. Pat out each dough piece into 5-inch-diameter round. Cut each dough round into 4 wedges. Transfer dough wedges to ungreased cookie sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake until scones are just firm to touch, about 20 minutes. Serve scones hot.

Tips:

  • Use the best quality treacle you can find. A good, dark treacle will give your scones a rich, molasses-like flavor.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the scones tough.
  • Make sure the oven is hot before you bake the scones. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overbake the scones. They should be golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
  • Serve the scones warm with butter, cream, or jam.

Conclusion:

Treacle scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're enjoying them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these scones are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give treacle scones a try. You won't be disappointed!
