1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/2 c. seedless raisins
1/3 c. molasses
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. All-Bran or Bran Buds cereal
2 tbsp. shortening
3/4 c. very hot water

Stir together flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, beat egg slightly. Mix in cereal, raisins, shortening and molasses. Add water, stirring until shortening is melted. Add flour mixture, stirring only until combined. Fill 2 greased metal cans, 4 1/4 inches deep and 3 inches across, about 2/3 full. (Coffee cans work very well.) Bake at 350 degrees about 45 minutes or until wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean. Remove form cans. Let cool slightly. Slice and serve warm. Or cool completely on wire rack, wrap tightly and store overnight. Yield: 2 loaves, 4 1/4 x 3 inches.
