3 cups white flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 pound unsalted butter, room temperature or softened

3 eggs

1/3 cup buttermilk

Mix flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the flour mixture, mixing only until blended. Add the buttermilk; mix only until blended. Sprinkle the filling on top of the batter and fold it in.

Using a large scoop, scoop dough onto an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until a light golden color on top. Cool on a wire rack.
