The Yummiest Bran Muffins

SIX WEEK BRAN MUFFINS

2 1/2 to 3 c. All Bran cereal
1 c. water, boiling
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. buttermilk

*Pour the boiling water over the cereal and let cool~ mush up with a fork. In the meantime, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Mix in bran mixture and buttermilk. Bake in greased or paper lined muffin tins at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. May be kept in refrigerator for up to 6 weeks. *I always just make my own buttermilk. Add 1 T. vinegar or lemon juice to make 1 cup with milk~ let it sit for 5-10 minutes until milk thickens some.

Notes: my girlfriend Coreen makes these and after making them a few times, I have altered the amounts only slightly. They are so yummy and will be your favorite breakfast treat if you make them fresh and eat them warm (with butter of course).
