- Preheat the oven to 200C/180Fan/400F. Grease and line a large baking tray.
- Melt the butter, brown sugar and treacle in a small pan over a low heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes to cool down.
- Place the flour, baking powder, salt, mixed spice and ground cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Stir lightly to combine everything together.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture. Pour in the melted butter, sugar and treacle mixture. Pour in 200ml of the milk and gently mix to a soft dough. If there are lots of crumbs sitting at the bottom of the bowl and the dough seems dry, add some extra milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky, but not too sticky it's difficult to handle.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Using your hands, gently pat the dough out into a circle, about 1 inch thick. Using a large scone cutter, cut out rounds of dough and place on the baking tray.
- Immediately place in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the scones have risen well and are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack and leave to cool slightly before eating!
