I make muffins everyday whether they are ordered or not. They are always eaten!
If I only have one or two guests I often use this mix as I can make as few as
I want.
This is straight out of Jean Pare's 'Company's Coming" muffins and more cookbook.
4 cups Bran flake cereal
2 cups All bran cereal
2 cups Boiling water
1 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
4 eggs
4 cups (1 litre) buttermilk
1/4 cup molasses (optional - but is the difference between an awesome muffin
and a muffin!)
5 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 cups raisins (I leave these out and use different berries, raisins, etc.)
In large bowl combine cereals and boiling water. Let stand.
In mixing bowl cream butter and sugars together. Add eggs one at a time beating
well after each addition. Mix in buttermilk. Add molasses. Stir in cereal mixture.
In another bowl combine flour, soda baking powder, salt and raisins. Mix thoroughly.
Add to batter. Stir just to combine. Store in refrigerator. It will keep for
six weeks (but won't last that long!) As required, fill greased muffin cups
3/4 full. Bake in 400 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from pan after
5 minutes.
Variation: Brans may be switched to use 2 cups bran flakes and 4 cups all bran
cereal. Or you may use natural bran to replace to cereal.
Pat's version: I pop a large frozen raspberry into the mini muffins. In the large ones I would put 3 or 4 berries. Blueberries are good too and sometimes I use raisins or craisins. If no one has ordered muffins I often just make the mini's as everybody likes 'just a taste'!
