Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and rub in the butter. Mix in the sugar, cinnamon, treacle or syrup and enough milk to make a soft dough.

Knead this lightly on a floured surface until it is both moist and elastic.

Cut into rounds with a 2.5 inch pastry cutter.

Grease a baking sheet and place the rounds on this.

Brush with a little milk and bake for 10/15 minutes in an oven, pre-heated to 425F/220C/Gas Mark 7 until golden brown.
