Bran Muffins

This is my family’s favorite muffin recipe.  I have made these hundreds of time over the years.  This makes a big batch so you can have them 2 or 3 times.  This recipe has buttermilk in it, unlike other recipes that have milk.  The buttermilk gives it a great flavor. Serve them warm with honey and butter. Breakfast doesn’t get any better.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs

• 5 cups flour
• 3 cups All Bran

Instructions

1. Cream butter, sugar and salt until creamy.
2. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
3. Mix buttermilk and baking soda, this rises in volume so you need a large bowl, or like an 8 cup measuring cup.
4. Alternate flour and buttermilk beating after each addition into butter and egg mixture.
5. When all combined stir in All Bran
6. Bake in muffin pan at 375 for 20 min.
