Treacle Scones

Directions

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃) (205C).

Lightly grease a large baking sheet; set aside.

Sift flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt into a large bowl; set aside.

In a medium-size saucepan, combine molasses and 2 tablespoons butter; stir over low heat until butter is melted.

Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; add molasses mixture and milk and mix with a form to form a soft dough.

Turn out onto floured surfaces. Roll out with a floured rolling pan or pat dough with your hands to form a round about ½-inch thick.

Cut into rounds with a 2-inch fluted or plain cookie cutter.

Place 1 to 1½ inches apart on baking sheet.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until well risen and golden.

Transfer to a wire rack and cool 5 minutes.

Split and serve warm with butter and jam if desired.
