Buttermilk Bran Scones

Back to Breads

Great with breakfast, instead of toast, or as a snack.

Ingredients:

1 cup bran breakfast cereal
2/3 cup buttermilk, or skim milk with a scant Tbsp of lemon juice or white vinegar added
1 cup flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup margarine

Procedure:

In a small bowl, mix breakfast cereal and buttermilk.  Let stand for at least 5 minutes.  In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda, mixing well.  Cut in the margarine with a pastry blender or two knives.  The mixture should resemble coarse bread crumbs.  Stir in the cereal and milk mixture, just until soft dough forms.  Turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes until dough is smooth.  Roll or pat out to a 12 by 4 inch rectangle and cut into 4 inch squares.  Cut each square into 4 triangles.  Place scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 425 F for 12 to 15 minutes.  Serve warm or reheated in the microwave.
