8 ounces self-rising flour |
2 ounces butter |
1 ounce caster sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 tablespoons black treacle or 2 tablespoons molasses |

1. Heat oven to 425°F or Gas Mark 7 and grease a baking sheet.

3. Mix in the sugar and cinnamon.
4. Add the treacle or molasses and sufficient milk to make soft dough.
