1 cup butter
6 cups Kellogg's All Bran
2 cups boiling water
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 quart buttermilk
5 cups flour
5 teaspoons soda
1 teaspoon salt
Pour boiling water over bran and butter. Let cool and add the rest of the ingredients. Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes. Nuts, dates, or raisins may be added. This makes a large batch. The batter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks if you keep it tightly covered.
