Irish Brown Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 ounces whole wheat flour
6 ounces all-purpose flour
4 ounces wheat bran
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 ounces butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
7 fluid ounces buttermilk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F Lightly dust a baking sheet with some flour.
Put the whole wheat flour and wheat germ into a large mixing bowl. Sift the all-purpose flour, salt and baking soda into the bowl. Mix the ingredients well together with fingers.
Next, rub in the butter to pea-sized pieces; then mix in the sugar.
At this stage, put the lightly dusted tin into the oven to preheat.
Stir in enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for a few seconds. Cut out scones with a round cookie cutter.
Put the scones on the preheated baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until risen and a golden brown.
Cool on a wire tray.
