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.
