-
In a large bowl mix together the flour, mixed spice, cinnamon, ginger, bicarb and set aside.
-
In a saucepan place the butter, sugar and treacle and place on a low heat until melted and combined together.
-
Add the treacle mix and milk to the bowl and using a wooden spoon mix into a dough. When it becomes to stiff to use the spoon, use your hands to bring the mix together. It should all come together into one ball which isn't too sticky but also doesn't crumble apart. If it is sticky add a little more gluten free flour.
-
Roll out until about an inch or so thick and cut into circles using a cutter a few inches diameter. You should get 6 scones from the mix.
-
Place on a grease and lined baking tray and bake on gas mark 7/220c for 15-20 mins until risen and golden.
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Serve with jam and cream or just with butter!

Spiced treacle scones, a classic Scottish scone which is perfect for autumnal days, this gluten free take has the delicious flavour of the molasses and spices and is perfect with jam, we loved ours with morello cherry, but any jam works well. Or how about butter and jam like I served mine.

You said 200ml of milk, but you don't say where in the recipe you add to it?
So it was! Updated to include the milk where it should be!
Can I use plain gf flour as no self raising found
Should be able to get gluten free self raising in any supermarket. You can use plain flour just add 1tsp of baking power per 100g of plain flour.
When do you add the 2ooml to the treacle scones you never added it in on you method of making the scones ..
The treacle is added in step 2 :)
