Ingredients:
2 cups bran flakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons orange rind, grated
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 cup non-hydrogenated margarine ( or slightly less)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon orange rind, grated
2 -3 teaspoons orange juice
Directions:
Place cereal in plastic bag and slightly crush with rolling pin; set aside.
Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, orange peel, and salt in medium bowl. Cut in margarine (You may want to use about a tbsp less of margarine since the original recipe called for regular margarine or butter which has a lower water content) using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives until mixture looks like coarse crumbles.
Stir in cereal, cranberries, egg, and yogurt until a soft dough forms.
Place dough on a floured surface, gently roll in flour to lightly coat; shape into a ball (if dough is too wet to achieve this step, skip it).
Pat dough into 8-inch circle with floured hands; cut circle into 12 wedges with a sharp knife dipped in flour. Place wedges about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 7 to 9 minutes at 400 F or until edges are light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet onto wire rack (place rack on waxed paper to catch drips).
Cool 5 minutes; combine ingredients for glaze, mix until thin enough to drizzle; drizzle scones with orange glaze.
After glaze has set, store in a sealed container.
