I guess I happen to be one of the few people who like bran muffins. This
recipe is from the box of Hodgson's Mill Whole Wheat Bran. You can mix up a
batch (add dried cranberries, blueberries, raisins, whateverwhe ready to
bake) and store it in the fridge covered and bake up as many or as little as
you want.

2 c. Hodgson's Mill unprocessed wheat bran
1 c. brown sugar
2-1/2 c. white flour
2-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1 pint buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. boiling water

Combine 1 cup wheat bran with 1 c. boiling water; stir and let steep. In a
separate bowl cream butter and brown sugar. Combine flour, salt, baking soda
in a large mixing bowl. Stir in 1 cup of the steeped bran with the
remaining 2 cups of bran, eggs and buttermilk mixture until well mixed.

Store tightly covered in the refrigerator until ready to use. Stir well
before ready to bake. Spoon into lightly greased muffin tins. Bake at 400F
for 20 minutes.
