Irish Brown Scones

• 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

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F Lightly dust a baking sheet with some flour.
2. 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.
3. Next, rub in the butter to pea-sized pieces; then mix in the sugar.
4. At this stage, put the lightly dusted tin into the oven to preheat.
5. 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.
6. Put the scones on the preheated baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until risen and a golden brown.
7. Cool on a wire tray.
