Bran Cake Breakfast with Yogurt and Berries

 Ingredients:

1 cup bran flake cereal

3 TBS milk

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 TBS grated orange peel

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

3 TBS butter

2 large eggs beaten to blend

3 cups mixed berries

2 cups plain yogurt

Directions:

In a small bowl stir bran flakes with milk and set aside to soften. In another bowl mix both flours, 3 TBS sugar, orange peel, baking powder, and cinnamon. With fingers mix in butter until texture is like coarse meal. Add bran mixture and eggs, stir just until moistened evenly. On a greased baking sheet pat the dough into an even 6" diameter round. With a floured knife, lightly score the round, make cuts no more than 1/4 inch deep. Bake in 400º oven until shortcake is lightly browned, 15-20 minutes (or until toothpick comes out clean). Transfer onto a rack to cool until warm With a long serrated knife, split the shortcake in half horizontally. In a bowl, mix together the berries, yogurt and sugar to taste. Spoon mixture into shortcake and on top to taste.

Notes: I used Spelt flour last time instead of whole wheat, and it was delicious. Sometimes I use maple syrup to sweeten the yogurt instead of sugar. I usually cook it on parchment paper.
