Scottish Bran Scones make a delicious addition to any breakfast or brunch menu. These scones are easy to prepare and can be served fresh out of the oven as a quick and tasty snack. The inclusion of bran adds an extra layer of flavor and texture, making them stand out from conventional scones. The scones can be eaten on their own or served with butter, jam or cream for a filling meal. They are also great as an accompaniment to soups and stews, especially during cold weather.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
2.	Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, bran and salt together in a mixing bowl.
3.	Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
4.	Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk.
5.	Mix to form a dough, then turn out onto a lightly floured work surface.
6.	Roll out the dough to about 1 1/4 inch thickness and cut out circles using a scone cutter or the rim of a glass.
7.	Place the scones on a greased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until well risen and golden.
8.	Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
