BEST FOR COOKING

Kellogg’s All-Bran is an ideal ingredient for cooking. It blends well with other ingredients because it is fine and soft and adds a tempting nut-sweet flavor to the recipe. Remember, too, that this best of all brans increases the value of each dish because of its abundant “bulk.”

ALL-BRAN MUFFINS

2 tablespoons shortening

¼ cup sugar

1 egg (well beaten)

1 cup sour milk

1 cup Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon soda

½ teaspoon salt

Note: If sweet milk is used instead of sour milk, omit the ½ teaspoon of soda and use 3 teaspoons baking powder. Raisins or dates may be added if desired. A small slice of apple, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, placed on top the muffin batter before baking, makes a delicious variation of the recipe.

Cream the shortening and sugar, add egg and sour milk. Add ALL-BRAN and let soak until most of the moisture is taken up. Sift flour with baking powder, soda and salt and add to first mixture, stirring only until flour disappears. Fill greased muffin tins two-thirds full and bake in a moderate oven (400° F.) for 20 to 25 minutes.

Yield: 8 large or 12 small muffins.

BEST AS A CEREAL

The “bulk” content of Kellogg’s All-Bran is higher than that of any other common food. It definitely corrects the “bulk-minus” meal—the most frequent cause of constipation.

When common constipation due to “bulk-minus” meals does occur, your family begins to feel under par—not exactly sick, but certainly not well. Avoid this condition by serving All-Bran regularly for regularity.

Try All-Bran as a cereal with milk or cream—two tablespoons daily will give you the “bulk-plus” meals so necessary in the well-balanced diet. In chronic cases, with each meal. All-Bran is much more effective than part-bran products. Sold by all grocers. Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek, Michigan.
