Mormon Muffins- By Jani

2 cups boiling water
5 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup shortening or butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 quart buttermilk
5 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all bran cereal
2 cups 40% bran flakes
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
3 teaspoons vanilla

Honey butter

Add soda to boiling water and set aside. Whip shortening/butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add eggs and mix well. Add buttermilk, flour and salt. Mix until well blended. Add soda water very slowly. Gently fold in cereals and nuts.

Cover and place in refrigerator overnight before baking. (will last up to 1 week)

When you take the dough out of the fridge it will be really thick. Spoon into greased muffin tins until they are kinda heaping. This will give you that really yummy muffin top (my favorite part!)

Bake at 350* for approx 30 minutes. Makes approx 3 dozen.

These muffins are really yummy especially served with honey butter!

CAUTION: This recipe makes a ton. Make sure you have a huge Tupperware bowl or you may even want to half this recipe.

Grease 2 loaf pans and divide batter into them. Bake at 325* for approx 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

**may need to place foil (sprayed with Pam) over the top 1/2 way through baking so they do not get too brown on top**
