"DEAR SOS: We had some wonderful bran muffins at the Harris Ranch in
Coalinga, Calif. I'd love the recipe if the Harris Ranch people would share
it. STELLA"

"DEAR STELLA: According to a Harris Ranch executive, the baker usually
prepares 25 dozen muffins per batch. But he kindly reduced the recipe to
make 4 One half dozen for our readers. Be warned that no baked product
reproduces exactly when ingredients are broken down. Be prepared for
changes in taste and texture.Rose Dosti in the LA Times 10/7/93"
