Trisha's Southern Cooking. Food Network

1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 cup sugar
1 cup crushed bran flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees.

Heavily grease and flour the inside of 3 (15-ounce) cans.

In a medium heatproof mixing bowl, pour the boiling water over the raisins and baking soda. Set aside to cool.

In a medium mixing bowl sift together the flour, sugar and salt. Stir in the bran flake crumbs. Lightly beat together the egg and oil and stir into the flour mixture. Stir in the cooled raisins and water.

Divide the batter evenly among the 3 cans, filling about 3/4 of the way up. Bake on the lowest rack until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Cool for about 10 minutes and run a knife along the sides of the can to remove.

If packing as gift, just wrap in the can.

Makes 3 mini loaves
