Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
-
Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the treacle, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should just come together.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
-
Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out scones from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.
-
Gather any remaining dough scraps, reshape, and cut out more scones until all the dough is used.
-
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
-
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
-
Serve the treacle scones warm with a dollop of clotted cream and jam, if desired. Enjoy with a cup of your favorite hot beverage for a truly comforting treat.
