• 1/2 pound flour
• 1/2 teaspoonful bicarbonate of soda
• 1/2 teaspoonful cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoonful salt
• 1/2 teaspoonful cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoonful ginger
• 1 teaspoonful sugar
• 1 tablespoonful treacle
• One and 1/2 oz butter
• buttermilk to mix

Rub the butter into the flour; add all the other dry ingredients and mix well. Melt the treacle and mix with a little buttermilk. Stir into the flour mixture, adding just enough milk to make a stiff dough. Knead lightly, roll out to three quarter inch thick, form into a round, and cut into eight triangular pieces. Place on a greased tin and bake in a good oven for ten to fifteen minutes.
