This was another recipe on the back of a packet. The Edmonds Natural Wheat Bran packet.
At first I was quite surprised as to how much butter was used but I made it anyway.
It was quite sticky (probably because of the amount of butter!) so I actually added some more flour and made sure my surface was quite covered in flour when it came to rolling out the dough.

It's quite a healthy biscuit when it comes to most of its ingredients but because I have always eaten bran biscuits with a bit of butter spread on it, I still think it uses quite a lot of butter.
