Bran Muffins

Posted By North Star.

Ingredients.

1/2 cup margarine
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup HOT water
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tsp. soda
1 cup 40% bran flakes
2 cups All-bran
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped nuts

Directions.

Mix together the margarine, eggs, and sugar.

Add the hot water.

Sift together the flour, salt and soda. Add to the margarine mixture alternately with the bran flakes, all-bran, and buttermilk.
Do not use mixer!

Add raisins and nuts.

NOTE: I use dried buttermilk mixed with water, that way I always have buttermilk on hand.

This recipe keeps in fridge for 6 weeks or more as long as it is securely covered. Use enough to make 1 or 2 muffins or make ahead and freeze.

Refrigerate the muffin mix for at least 4 hours before baking.

Bake at 375 degrees F. for 20 minutes.
