Nothing like a warm muffin and a good cup of coffee to share with a friend.
I got this recipe from my friend Eileen and it hit the spot just right.
Streusel Topping:

- 1/2 cup of sour milk* or buttermilk (*to make sour milk add a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to milk and let stand or 5 minutes).
- Mix in all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Cut in the butter to make coarse crumbs.
