This old recipe was published in "The Gray Gazette," the newsletter of Senior Link, a group of nonprofit services for seniors, their families, and professionals in the Coastal Bend area. Unfortunately, the contributor's name was not included. This recipe makes a large quantity of muffins, but the batter will keep in the refrigerator for up to one month.
