ingredients

2 cups bran flakes
4 cups kellogs all-bran cereal
2 cups boiling water
2 ²⁄₃ cups granulated sugar
1 cup shortening
4 eggs, beaten
1 quart buttermilk
5 cups flour, not sifted
5 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

directions

Pour boiling water over Bran cereal and cool. Cream together sugar and shortening in a large bowl, then add the remainder of ingredients. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, depending on the size of your muffins it may take longer. The batter can be refrigerated for up to 1 month. If you like you can add additional ingredients - I like to add Dates, and sometimes some Walnuts. A friend of mine recently suggested using boiling Apple Juice in place of the water for a different flavor, I plan on trying that the next time I make the batter. You could also add Raisins, Cinnamon, Chocolate Chips, Dried Cranberrys - whatever your taste is. I also like these muffins cold better than hot. I am not sure just how many muffins can come out of this recipe, but it makes quite alot.
