Preheat oven to 220c fan forced.
Warm the milk and add treacle, stirring to dissolve, and leave to cool.
Put flour, salt, bicarbonate, cream of tartar into a bowl, mix, then add cubed butter and rub together till it forms a breadcrumb texture. Add the sugar and spices and mix thoroughly. Make a well in centre and pour in your cooled milk and treacle mixture. Combine gently with a spoon then tip into a floured worktop and gently knead to bring the dough together. Roll lightly to about 3.5cm then using a fluted cookie cutter cut into discs, placing onto a baking sheet. Keep re rolling and cutting until all the dough is used. Beat an egg and brush over the tops before baking for 10 minutes.
Serve with butter and jam or whipped cream and treacle.
