Amazing Treacle Scones Recipe 

Amazing Treacle Scones Recipe
These are really light and fluffy. I used Buttermilk but you can also use regular milk or make a buttermilk substitute as mentioned below. I converted the recipe from grams so these are approximate US cup measurements
Depending on your flour you may need to add a little drop more buttermilk. Aim for the consistency in the video
500g | 4 cups of Plain Flour
30g | 3 heaped tsp of Baking Powder
1tsp of Cinnamon
1tsp of Mixed spice
Pinch of Salt
100g | 1 stick of Butter (frozen and grated)
2tbsp of Soft brown sugar
2 tbsp of Treacle of Molasses
1 large Egg
300ml | 1¼ cup of Buttermilk or Regular milk
Eggwash - 1 egg yolk mixed with a pinch of salt and sugar
Baking powder already contains an acid unlike bicarbonate of soda. So you can use either regular or buttermilk. If using buttermilk you can also use bicarbonate of soda. About 1 - 1 1/2 tsp should do it
I find that buttermilk makes them soft and fluffier.
For a sourmilk buttermilk substitute add 1.5 tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice to some full milk or milk of your choice. Stir and let it stand for about 10 minutes before adding it to the dry ingredients
Bake at 200 C / 392 F for 18 minutes Conventional oven
Fan - 180 C / 356 F
Give them a go and let me know how you get on!
All the best
