They’re an absolute treat, better for you than bought biscuits, quick and easy to make and so affordable. Bran or Oat biscuits Makes 30 biscuits 110g butter, softened 1 cup regular sugar 1 egg 1 cup plain flour + extra for rolling 1 cup bran flakes or oats – process these in a food processor or blender 1 tsp baking powder  Set oven at 160 C fan bake and line 1 or 2 trays with baking paper. Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Stir in flour and bran/oats until it forms a ball. Halve and roll out each dough ball on a well-floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or thin-lipped glass or cup to cut into circles. Any size you like. Transfer to the lined tray. Prick each with a fork. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
