Do you remember the "Barrel o'Muffins" recipe from way back in the 80's?? Well, I made that ahead and just scooped it out for our brunch that day.....easy, easy.
Barrel O'Muffins2 C Boiling water
5 tsp soda
1 C shortening or 1 C oil
2 C sugar
4 beaten eggs
5 C flour
4 C All-Bran Buds (Kelloggs)
Optional: 2 C raisans or dates
1 C chopped nuts
1 Qt. buttermilk
1 tsp salt
Mix water with soda and let cool. Crem shortening or oil, sugar and eggs in large 10 qt. container. Add other ingredients and mix.
Put batter in lined muffin tins, bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
This mixture can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks (with shortening), about 4 weeks (with oil).....Scoop out and bake as needed!!
How easy is that!?!?!?
However, upon mixing this and buying the ingredients I did realize, I have seriously changed my families eating habits since that time and will have to experiement with some more natural ingredients and see how long it would last.....for example the Bran Buds have all kinds of junk in them I do not normally eat (high fructose corn syryp, hydrogenated fats, etc)....so would start with looking for a natural cereal alternative. I have already changed the shortening to oil which helps and I do not use white sugar, I would
love to try this with honey???
Now!!! I must get busy, very full day of tea prep......mmmm.....Peach Ice Cream, Raspberry Scone Dough, Boysenberry Tarts.....Rhubarb Jam to sell.....Oh My!! Better get busy!!!
