Ingredients

150g (5¼oz) wholemeal plain flour
130g (1 cup/4½oz) oat bran
75g (⅓ cup, firmly packed/2¾oz) brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
125g (4½oz) chilled salted butter, cubed
60ml (¼ cup/2fl oz) milk

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C/315°F). 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 5mm/¼in thick. Use a 6cm/2¼in round cutter to cut the dough into discs and place them on the lined trays about 3cm/1¼in apart. Prick the tops of each biscuit twice with a fork. Re-roll 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.
