Ingredients
- 250 g plain flour
- 35 g brown sugar
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- 125 g cold butter cubed
- ½ tsp salt
- 120 ml buttermilk extra for brushing
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 30 g speculoos spread melted

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C or 390°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and spices. Add the cubed cold butter, and working with your fingertips, combine to a crumbly mixture.
- In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk and the biscuit spread. Add this mixture to the flour mixture gently. Mix until there is no liquid. Add in the crushed biscuits. Knead until everything is evenly distributed.
- On a lightly floured surface, drop the dough and shape with your hands into a disc of about 20 cm. With a sharp knife, cut into 8 triangles. Place the scones on the prepared baking tray.
- Brush the scones with some buttermilk.
- Bake the scones for about 15-20 minutes until they are nicely golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with some melted spread.
