• Add the milk and treacle to a saucepan and stir together over a medium heat until combined.
• Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the milk/treacle mixture.

• Bake for 15-18 minutes or until risen and golden.
• Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool before serving with butter, jam, clotted cream or your favourite toppings.
