SCOTTISH BRAN SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 200C fan.
• Sieve the flour, baking powder and caster sugar into mixing bowl.
• Add the wheat bran.
• Add the butter cubes to the mixing bowl and using your fingertips rub the butter into the flour mixture to form a breadcrumb mixture.
• Gradually add the milk, mixing into the flour mixture to form a light elastic dough.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1cm thick and then using a round 2"-3"/5cm - 7.5cm pastry cutter, cut out the scones one by one.
• Place the scones on a lightly greased baking tray and brush the tops lightly with milk,
• Bake in the oven for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. Check they are cooked before removing by inserting a skewer / toothpick into the middle of a scone, which should come out clean if they are ready.

Steps:
