For best results, use cold butter and avoid overmixing the dough, as this can result in tough scones. If you don't have treacle, molasses can be substituted, but the flavor will be slightly different. You can brush the tops of the scones with a little milk or egg wash before baking for a shinier finish. These scones are best enjoyed on the day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and sugar. (3 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the treacle and most of the milk. (1 minute)
05
Step
3 mins
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently stir the wet and dry ingredients together until a soft dough forms. Add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, if the dough seems too dry. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently pat it down to about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thickness. (2 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
Use a biscuit cutter (approximately 2-3 inches in diameter) to cut out rounds from the dough. Re-roll any scraps to cut out additional scones. (5 minutes)

Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. (2 minutes)
09
