1 cup whole bran cereal
1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk
1 beaten egg
1 egg white
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
3 cups packaged biscuit mix
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice

Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl combine cereal and buttermilk or sour milk; let stand for 3 minutes or till milk is absorbed. Stir in egg, egg white, and butter or margarine. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl stir together biscuit mix, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon apple pie spice. Make a well in the center. Add bran-egg mixture; mix just till dough clings together.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently 10 to 15 strokes or till smooth and well mixed. Divide dough in half. On a large ungreased baking sheet, with lightly floured fingers, pat each half of the dough into a 6 1/2 inch circle.

Stir together egg yolk and milk. Brush over tops of circles. Combine the 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice; sprinkle over circles. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. With a spatula, pull each wedge out of the circle slightly, leaving about 1/4 inch space between the wedges.

Bake in a 425°F oven for 12 to 14 minutes or till scones are golden brown. Serve warm.

Makes 16 scones.
