Green Meadows Six Week Bran Muffins Amish recipe recipe post-ovo-lacto

[Guest guest]

I finally found my book " Cooking from Quilt Country " by Marcia Adams , Amish

recipes.

These are by far above the best bran muffins I have ever tasted. This recipe

makes 42-48 muffins and the batter keeps in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. I

always make them all up and freeze or take to work and share, or I might make

half up and a few days later make up the balance. Funny how everyone raves

about them and asks what they are called or what's in them that tastes so

wonderful. When I mention they are bran they always say BRAN, I never eat bran

muffins, how can they taste this good, can I please have your recipe? The nice

thing about this recipe is, the batter keeps so if you want to make some for

today you can enjoy and then if you need to take some fresh muffins to a

function or have company over a few days later, you can make another batch up in

no time. They make the house smell wonderful as they bake.

 

" Green Meadows Six Week Bran Muffins "

 

5 cups all purpose flour

5 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. ground allspice (I use cinnamon)

1 15 ounce box of bran flakes with raisins cereal

3 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 cup canola or vegetable oil

1 quart buttermilk

2 tsp. vanilla

 

Using the largest bowl you have, combine the first four ingredients.. Add the

bran flakes and sugar and mix well. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs then add

the buttermilk, oil and vanilla to eggs and blend well. Pour the egg mixture

over the flour mixture and stir well. Transfer to a large plastic container

that has a tight fitting cover, and store in the refrigerator until ready to

use. Date the container as this batter will keep up to 6 weeks. (I always use

mine up within 2-4 days).

When ready to bake DO Not stir batter when dipping in to fill muffin pan.

To bake preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using about 1/2 cup batter for each, drop

the batter into paper lined muffin tins. Bake the muffins for about 20 mins. or

until the top springs back when touched with your finger.

 

 

 

 

" In the present position of the planets, it's impossible to say;

Just when I'll find my course again, with the boulders in my way.

I should be rolling down the skyway on my cosmic wheels;

Instead of stumbling down this highway on my boots of steel "
