Treacle Scones

Weigh out: 
8 oz Flour
1 oz Dark brown sugar
2 oz Sunflower spread
1 tsp Cream of tartar
1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and rub in the fat until the mixture resembles bread crumbs

Measure out: 
120 ml of plain yogurt or milk or half and half (Soya or dairy) 
20-30 ml Treacle

Mix the yogurt (or milk) and the treacle well

Create a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the treacle mixture and stir together gently, don't over mix otherwise you end up with heavy scones!

Once the mixture has bound together cut out 6 scones (3 cm diameter) and bake in a preheated hot oven (180 C with fan) for 15 minutes (or longer if making bigger scones).
