Description
From "Scottish Teatime Recipes" - my family will munch on these wee treats at any old time of day!



Ingredients

 * 8 	 ounces  self-rising flour
 * 2 	ounces butter
 * 1 	ounce caster sugar
 * 1/2 	teaspoon ground cinnamon
 * 2 	tablespoons black treacle or molasses
 * 1 	pinch salt
 * 5 	fluid ounces milk, to mix

Directions
Heat oven to 425°F or Gas Mark 7 and grease a baking sheet. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and rub in the butter. Mix in the sugar and cinnamon. Add the treacle or molasses and sufficient milk to make soft dough. Turn on to a floured surface and knead gently- the dough should be fairly moist and elastic. Roll out to about ½-inch thick, and cut into rounds with a 2½-inch pastry cutter. Place on the baking sheet, brush with a little milk and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden in colour. Cool on a wire rack. Serve split in half and buttered. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
