Preheat oven to 425 F and prepare muffin pans.
Measure the wheat bran into a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Stir and let sit.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Whisk in the molasses and buttermilk.
