If desired, store batter, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. To bake, gently stir batter; fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. (All of the batter does not need to be baked at once.)

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to sugar mixture. Stir in softened bran; mix until evenly incorporated.

Steps:

• In a large bowl with a tight fitting lid, place the wheat bran flakes (or plain wheat bran) and the bran buds or all-bran. Pour the boiling water over the bran and mix well. Stir every couple of minutes while the mixture cools to room temperature. The mixture will become very thick and sticky.

• The batter can be covered well and kept in the refrigerator for up to 30 days. To bake, scoop the batter into greased or lined muffin tins. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
