    List of Ingredients




    18 cups flour
    5 cups sugar*
    2 1/4 cups buttermilk blend or non fat dry milk
    6 Tb baking powder
    2 Tb baking soda
    2 Tb salt
    3 Tbsp ground cinnamon
    3 tsp ground nutmeg

    Recipe



    Store in a large airtight container labeled with the date and contents
    in a
    cool, dry place.
    Shelf life: 6 to 8 months.
    Makes enough for about 5 batches of 24 muffins each.

    If desired, sugar can be omitted then stir in 1 cup honey for every 24
    muffins as you make them.

    TO MAKE 24 REGULAR SIZED MUFFINS:
    Preheat oven to 400°.

    Coat muffin tins with an oil/lecithin mixture, grease with shortening
    or
    butter, or spray with cooking spray.

    In a large bowl, beat:
    4 eggs
    3 tsp. vanilla
    2 cups water
    1 cup oil*

    * or butter this measurement is up to your tastes and desires. We find
    them
    perfectly acceptable without ANY fat, but any amount of oil can be
    added up
    to one cup.

    Stir in 5-1/2 cups muffin mix and any additional ingredients (listed on
    chart) just until moistened. The batter should be lumpy.

    Fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until muffins
    are
    golden brown.

    Muffins freeze well.
    To reheat frozen muffins, microwave on high for 30 seconds per muffin.
