List of Ingredients

1 cup 40% bran flakes cereal
1 cup boiling water
2 1/2 cups flour, sifted
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups All-bran cereal
2 cups buttermilk or sour milk


Recipe

Combine 40% Bran Flakes and boiling water in bowl. Let stand 10 minutes. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Cream together shortening and sugar in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, using electric mixer at medium speed. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in Bran Flakes mixture and all-bran into creamed mixture.

Add dry ingredients alternately with butter/sour milk to creamed mixture, mixing just enough to moisten. Spoon batter into well-greased 1 1/2-inch muffin-pan cups, filling 2/3rds full. Bake in 400ºF oven 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with butter and jam. NOTE: Batter can be stored for a few days in the refrigerator. Bake as directed.
