Ingredients

• 1 cup bran cereal (e.g., All-Bran)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold)
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the bran cereal and buttermilk. Stir to coat the cereal, then let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips to incorporate it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Stir the softened bran mixture and honey into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it out to about 3/4-inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 9

Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam as desired.
