I've used a similar recipe from one of Jane Brody's old (yellowing) cookbooks. The finest bran muffin ever! I add the raisins or cranberries to the boiling water mix to soften them.
But, where can I get bran twigs, buds or flakes without high fructose corn syrup? The closest I can get is a combination flakes, twigs and granola mix. Something from the regular grocery store would be a plus.
Two buttermilk recipes in a row, you're on a roll! Have you tried a natural foods store or a food co-op for the twigs - the high fructose corn syrup? They might have them there. Good luck in your search and happy baking! mary@ KAF
