I have been making these for a long time. I used to make them as a "Coffee Cake" but like making them in the individual larger cupcakes now. You can freeze them up for a rainy day...or just eat them all! I have made them with blueberries, blackberries, pears, apples or peaches....but if you do that make sure to pat dry the fruit first. If you want to use the apples or pears, make sure you cook them first. (I always cook them up and add a bit of cinnamon, sugar and a hint of nutmeg) ENJOY!

    Sift your flour, salt and baking powder, slowly add 1/3 to your batter folding with a rubber spatula. add 1/2 of the buttermilk and fold in. add another third of the flour mixture followed with the other half of buttermilk, then the last of the flour. Do not over mix. add your sour cream and gently fold that in
