Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and the bottoms are lightly browned. (10-12 minutes)
10 Step

0 mins
Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, clotted cream, or your favorite jam.
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.
