Ingredients

• 150g wholemeal plain flour
• 130g (1 cup) oat bran
• 75g (⅓ cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 125g chilled unsalted butter, cubed
• 60ml (¼ cup) milk

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two oven trays with non-stick baking paper.
2. Put the flour, oat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and butter in the bowl of a food processor and process until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the mixture with the milk and use the pulse button to process until the mixture starts to come together as a dough. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and bring it together with your hands.
3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out until about 5 mm thick. Use a 6 cm round cutter to cut the dough into discs and place them on the lined trays about 3 cm apart. Prick the tops of each biscuit twice with a fork. Reroll any off cuts and cut out more biscuits.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden around the edges, aromatic and cooked through. Cool on the trays.
