----DRY MIX----
1 1/4 c  Flour
1 ts Bicarbonate of soda
1 ts Cinnamon
1/2 c  Sugar
1 3/4 c  Unprocessed bran
1 c  Finely chopped dates

-WET MIX –
1/2 c Oil
1 1/2 c Buttermilk
1 Lightly beaten egg

Sift first 4 dry mix ingredients, stir in bran & dates. Combine wet mix
ingredients. Add the dry mix to the wet mix until just combined, cover &
refrigerate overnight. (These muffins can be made & cooked on the same day,
but are not as nice as if the mixture is left to stand overnight). Next
day, spoon into prepared pans & bake at 425F for 20 mins or until done.
Serve hot with butter. Makes 20 muffins.
