Ingredients	Grams	Comment
Bread Flour	1125
Baking Powder	60
Shortening	250
Milk	550	or 500ml water + 50g milk powder
Eggs	200 (4)
Sugar	250
Salt	20
Currants	250	Cannot replace with raisins, raisins are too moist for this

Yield: 3 doz.

1. 
   Sift together the Bread flour, Baking soda, Baking powder and milk
   powder.

   
   

2. Add
   the rest of the dry ingredients (bran, whoe wheat flour, raisins, salt, brown sugar, walnut) to the
   above and blend well by hand.
   

   
   

3. Whisk
   eggs + vanilla + oil in a separate bowl.

   
   

4. Add cold water to #3 and mix.

   
   

5. Make
   a well in the center of #2 and add #4 into the well. Fold together just until blended. Do not over mix!!

6. Let
   the mix rest for approx. 10-20 minutes so that the bran has time
   to soak up the liquid. (Or put it in a zipped bag, leave it in the
   freezer overnight)

   
   

7. Grease
   tops of 3 muffin pans. Paper line with muffin cups.

   
   

8. Once
   mix has rested, deposit batter with pipping bag evenly over 3 dozen
   muffins. (Using a pipping bag is easier, but if you don't have a
   pipping bag, using a spoon to scoop the batter into the muffin pan
   is ok too!)

   
   

9. Put
   the rest of the walnuts to the top of each muffin.

   
   

10. Bake
    muffins at 400F for approx. 20-25 minutes; until the muffin springs
    back when touched & top is firm (You may wanna to check it out in 15mins, I found
    mine was done in 15mins!)

    
    

11. Remove
    muffins from tins directly after baking to prevent "sweating".

12. Can freeze after the muffins are baked.
