Six Week Bran Muffins
( Back to Cookbook Main Menu | Back to Breads | Back to Breakfast Breads )

 

I put this recipe in the breakfast breads because that is when we almost always ate them. This is another recipe from Frances Hamilton's cookbook. Not an old time favorite, but one that we came to love while growing up.


4 cups All Brand Cereal (one small box)
1 cup shortening, melted
2 cups sugar
1 qt buttermilk
5 tsp baking soda
2 cups boiling water
5 cups flour, sifted
4 eggs, beaten
2 tsp salt

Mix the brand cereal with the water, and let stand for about 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and refrigerate over night.

Pour into muffin pan and bake at 400 for 20 minutes.

Cliff Note: The batter will store in the refrigerator for about six weeks, which gives these muffins their name. It also freezes well.
