Bran Cakes Recipe

2 cups wheat bran

2 tablespoons melted butter

2 whole eggs

1 egg white

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 grain saccharine



Tie bran in a piece of cheesecloth and soak for one hour. Wash by

squeezing water through and through. Change water several times. Wring

dry. Dissolve saccharine in one-half teaspoon water. Beat the whole

eggs. Mix the bran, beaten eggs, melted butter, and saccharine

together. Whip the remaining egg white and fold in at the last. Form

into small cakes, using a knife and a tablespoon. Bake on a greased

baking sheet until golden brown.



This mixture will make about 25 small cakes. One cake represents 16

calories. A sample cake made by this recipe was analyzed and found to

contain neither starch nor sugar.
