Bran-Raisin Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. Shredded Wheat bran cereal
1/2 c. raisins (we've never added raisins)
1/2 c. boiling water
1 c. buttermilk
2/3 c. sugar
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 egg
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt

Preparation

Heat oven to 400\u00b0.
Grease bottom only of 12 to 18 medium muffin cups.
(Important for 4-H but at home I use just use Pam.) Mix cereal, raisins and water; let stand for 2 minutes.
Beat eggs in 2 1/2-quart bowl; stir in buttermilk, oil and cereal mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients all at once, just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).
Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full.
Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Immediately remove from pan.
