  Molasses is known as treacle in the U.K.  These scones are fragrant
  and chewy; very nice on a cold afternoon.
  
  Preheat oven to 400F (205C).  Lightly grease a large baking sheet; set
  aside.  Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl; set
  aside. In a medium-size saucepan, combine molasses and 2 tablespoons
  butter; stir over low heat until butter is melted. Make a well in the
  center of dry ingredients; add molasses mixture and milk and mix with
  a form to form a soft dough.  Turn out onto floured surfaces. Roll
  out with a floured rolling pan or pat dough with your hands to form a
  round about 1/2-inch thick.  Cut into rounds with a 2-inch fluted or
  plain cookie cutter. Place 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheet.
  Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until well risen and golden. Transfer to a
  wire rack and cool 5 minutes. Split and serve warm with butter. Makes
  12 to 15 scones.
