REFRIGERATOR BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a large bowl add the bran flakes.
• Pour the boiling water over the top, and mix well. Stir every couple of minutes while the mixture cools to room temperature. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
• In a large bowl with a tight fitting lid (needed if you aren't baking the muffin batter right away), cream together shortening and sugar. Mix in eggs, salt baking soda until combined.
• Mix in flour and buttermilk, alternating ingredients as you add them and mixing. Add in the All-Bran Cereal and and cooled bran flakes mixture and stir until combined.
• Spoon batter into muffin cups coated with non-stick spray or with muffin cup liners. They should be 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes

If desired, store batter, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. To bake, gently stir batter; fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. (All of the batter does not need to be baked at once.)

Steps:

• In medium bowl pour boiling water over bran buds and let stand.
• In a very large bowl (I use a large Tupperware bowl that has a lid) cream together shortening, sugar, and eggs. Add buttermilk.
• Add water/bran mixture to the creamed items.
• Add flour, baking soda, salt, raisins, and shredded bran.
• Stir until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX and DON'T STIR AGAIN.
• Let sit in refrigerator at least 4-6 hours before cooking. This batter can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks (although I must admit I've never had it longer than a couple of weeks).
• Don't stir the batter again, just scoop it out to the muffin tin. If not using cupcake liners, grease and flour muffin tin for easy removal. Fill to about 2/3 full. Bake at 400 F for 15-20 minutes for regular size muffins or until a toothpick comes out clean. For large muffins (that's what we usually make) bake for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
