Treacle Scones

==Description==
From "Scottish Teatime Recipes" - my family will munch on these wee treats at any old time of day!
== Ingredients ==
* 8 ounces self-rising flour
* 2 ounces butter
* 1 ounce caster sugar
* ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 2 tablespoons black treacle or molasses
* 1 pinch salt
* 5 fluid ounces milk, to mix
== Directions ==
# Heat oven to 425°F or gas mark 7 and grease a baking sheet.
# Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and rub in the butter.
# Mix in the sugar and cinnamon.
# Add the treacle or molasses and sufficient milk to make soft dough.
# Turn on to a floured surface and knead gently- the dough should be fairly moist and elastic.
# Roll out to about ½-inch thick, and cut into rounds with a 2½-inch pastry cutter.
# Place on the baking sheet, brush with a little milk and bake for 10–15 minutes until golden in colour.
# Cool on a wire rack.
# Serve split in half and buttered.
# Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
