Sift dry ingredients together in large bowl. Add blueberries or cherries to 
dry mix and mix until well coated. In a small bowl, beat eggs well. Add 
melted butter and milk. Quickly stir liquid mixture into dry mix. Do not 
overmix as overblending will cause a tough texture. Fill muffin cups 3/4 
full, and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon topping. Bake at 400-F for 20 
minutes until brown.
