Mix dry ingredients. Add margarine and mix well. Add the syrup and enough milk to make a loose dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead until smooth. Roll out into a square with a thickness of about 3/4 inch. Cut dough in half, then into quarters and then to eights. Bake on a lightly floured baking sheet at 400F for approximately 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Split and serve with whole fruit preserves.
