February Recipe
Black Treacle Scones
INGREDIENTS:
3 2/3 cups all purpose flour
2tsp baking soda
4 ½ tsp cream of tartar
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground allspice
½ cup butter
¼ tsp ground cloves
1 cup milk
2 tbsp molasses
½ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground ginger
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, 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.
3. Bake in a 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.
Servings: 15
