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.

I followed the recipe exactly but the scones turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I've made these scones several times now and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they taste amazing. I love the way the treacle gives them a slightly chewy texture.

These scones were easy to make and turned out great. I used golden syrup instead of treacle and they were still delicious.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of treacle, but I'm glad I did. The scones were surprisingly delicious. The treacle gave them a unique flavor that I really enjoyed.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scones turned out perfectly. They were light and fluffy with a hint of sweetness from the treacle.
