Love the flavor :D. I had a bit of a problem however, that might have been my own fault. I always use natural bran and generally look for recipes that ask for that. This looked lovely though and had to give it a try. In my case the first mix with the yogurt absorbed every molecule of moisture. I proceeded, thinking that the butter might help in the final mix. It didn't and if I was to bring it together I had to add some milk, I added 2 tablespoons and suddenly it was too wet. When you reach the stage of mixing the damp (or maybe wet if you use the cereal) resist the temptation to add more liquid. Just go ahead and knead the power and crumbles and I suspect that you'll have lovely to look at scones. Being to wet mine didn't rise as tall as I like but the taste is grand. I used 1 tsp of cinnamon in the scones, Splenda for the sugar and sprinkled the top with raw sugar. Made for ZWT 8
