Bran Muffins

Not as bad as you think. They're good! I make 1/2 the recipe & it makes about 3 dozen. These are some of my favorite muffins.

Recipe from: unknown

Mix & Let Soak:
3 cups boiling water
3 cups All Bran or Nabisco 100% bran cereal

Cream:
1 1/4 cups shortening
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 quart buttermilk

Add:
5 cups flour (I use 1/2 wheat, 1/2 white)
5 tsp. soda
2 tsp. salt

Add:
bran cereal/water mix

Grease muffin pan or use muffin papers. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Let muffins stand in tins for 5 minutes. This will prevent sticking. May add nuts or raisins. Batter keeps up to 4 weeks in the fridge in a tightly covered container.
