Ingredients
  • 1 c. boiling water
  • 2½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ c. shortening
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 c. buttermilk
  • 2½ c. flour
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 c. All Bran cereal
  • 1 c. 40% bran flakes
  • ½ c. chopped walnuts
Directions
  1. Add soda to boiling water and set aside.
  2. Whip shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and mix well.
  4. Add the buttermilk, flour, salt; mix again.
  5. Add the soda water very slowly.
  6. Gently fold the cereals and the walnuts into the mix.
  7. Muffin mix must sit in the refrigerator over night before baking.
  8. Grease the tops and inside of muffin pans (these will go over the tops of the tins). Spoon batter into muffin tins to the top.
  9. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Notes
Muffin batter will last one week, covered and refrigerated.
Makes about 2 dozen regular sized muffins. Try these in jumbo muffin tins. They'd be fabulous!
