2 cups Nabisco All Bran	5 tsp soda
2 cups boiling water	1 1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups sugar	4 eggs
1 cup+ shortening	4 cups Kellogg's All Bran
5 cups flour	1 quart buttermilk

Let Nabisco All Bran and boiling water stand. Cream sugar and generous cup shortening. Add eggs one at a time to mixture. Sift together flour, soda, and salt and fold into mixture. Then fold in 4 cups Kellogg's All Bran and 1 quart buttermilk. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 1 gallon and keeps 6 weeks if stored in covered container in refrigerator. Baked muffins freeze well. (Annette's note: I have used bran buds, bran flakes, and all bran or only all bran and they all seem to work out well. I often use sweet 2% milk and put a little lemon juice in it to make it like buttermilk.) Variations: add chopped dates, chopped nuts, blueberries, cranberries, craisins, pineapple, or other fruit.
