ingredients

2 ¹⁄₂ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking soda
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt
1 ¹⁄₂ cups natural bran
1 egg, beaten
1 cup molasses
³⁄₄ cup milk
¹⁄₄ cup shortening, melted

directions

Add the beaten liquid ingredients to the sifted combined dry ones in a few swift strokes, just until the flour is moistened. The mixing is held to absolute minimum, a light stirring from 10-20 seconds, batter will be lumpy. The batter should not be mixed to the point of pouring, ribbon-like from the spoon, but should break into course globs. If the batter has been beaten too long, the gluten in the flour will develop and toughen the dough.
To bake, preheat oven to 400°F Grease bottoms only of medium-size muffin cups, fill 2/3 full. Bake at once in a preheated 400F oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. If muffins remain in tins a few moments after leaving the oven they will be easier to remove.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
