Store batter in the refrigerator for up to six weeks. You can bake a fresh supply every day, if you like. Origin of recipe unknown; it was given to me by a friend many years ago. Very high sugar content (ie white sugar, brown sugar, molasses, raisins). I would caution persons with diabetes to monitor their glucose levels very carefully. Maximum enjoyment for diabetics = 1/4 muffin at a sitting. Ingredients:
4 cups bran flakes |
2 cups all-bran cereal |
2 cups boiling water |
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine |
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar |

4 eggs |
4 cups buttermilk |
1/4 cup molasses (optional) |
5 cups all-purpose flour |
