Mormon Muffins

ok these are the most perfect most delicious muffins I have ever tasted in my life. I have never made them- just eaten them. They are from a restaurant called The Greenery here in Ogden and these muffins are famous throughout the Wasatch Front. You must make or buy honey butter to spread on top if you want the full Mormon Muffin experience.

All I have is a picture of the box the muffins came in- hence they were eaten very quickly...

Ingredients:

2 cups boiling water
5 tsp baking soda
1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 quart buttermilk
5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
4 cups All Bran Cereal
2 cups 40% Bran Flakes
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

Add soda to boiling water and set aside. Whip shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs slowly. Mix well. Add the buttermilk, flour, salt and mix again. Add the soda water very slowly. Gently fold the cereals and the walnuts into the mix.

Spoon 1/8 cup into greased muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Muffin mix must sit in the refrigerator over night before baking. Muffin mix will last one week, covered and refrigerated. Yields 3 dozen muffins.
