      Yield: 12 servings 
  
      3 c  40% Bran Flakes cereal              2 tb Oil 
    1/2 ts Orange or vanilla extract           9 oz Box yellow cake mix 
  1 1/4 c  Hot milk                            3 ea Eggs 
  
  Combine cereal with hot milk in a 1-1/2  quart mixing bowl and let  it 
  stand about 10  minutes---or until the cereal has absorbed all of  the 
  milk.  With the electric mixer on high speed, beat in the oil and eggs till 
  completely blended.   Remove the beaters.   Switch to  a sturdy spoon and 
  dump in the cake mix,  stirring only to moisten all of it thoroughly---but 
  don't overmix or overbeat or the muffin texture will be heavy and tough. 
  The batter will be a bit lumpy. 
   Cover the bowl and let the batter stand 15  minutes while you preheat the 
  oven to 400 F, and grease 12  muffin tin wells in Crisco, evenly. Divide 
  batter equally between the 12 wells.  If you are using cupcake tin wells, 
  you will have 15 muffins.   Bake at 400  for 20 to 25 minutes, or till 
  golden brown. Wipe tops of each while still warm in softened butter or 
  margarine.
