| Blueberry Buckle |
I discovered today's recipe through one of my favorite culinary blog hops, Foodie Friday. The source is the talented NancyCreative, and her original recipe is posted here. I've made a few modifications to Nancy's original recipe - mainly based on what was on hand the day the craving for blueberries struck - and I've noted the changes below. I hope you give this a try - the baked buckle was so delicious, Prince Charming wants more, this time filled with his favorite fruits!
Batter Ingredients:
½ Cup Butter, Softened
1 ½ Cups Sugar
2 Eggs
1 ½ Teaspoons Vanilla
4 Cups All Purpose Flour
4 Teaspoons Baking Powder
½ Teaspoons Salt
1 Cup Half and Half
4 Cups Fresh Blueberries
Brown Sugar Topping Ingredients:
1 1/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed
¾ Cup All Purpose Flour
1 ½ Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
2/3 Cup Cold Butter
Ingredient Substitution Notes:
Based on what was on hand the day we made the recipe, we substituted Bread Flour for All Purpose Flour and Frozen Blueberries for Fresh Blueberries. These changes resulted in an increased baking time over Nancy's original recipe (the frozen blueberries added extra liquid to the recipe), but the outcome was just as delicious!
Instructions:
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a 9×13-inch pan and set aside.
To Make The Batter:
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar.
 |
| Step 3 |
4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
 |
| Step 4 |
 |
| Step 5 |
6. Add the combined dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the half and half.
 |
| Step 6 |
 |
| Step 7 |
8. Pour the batter into the 9×13-inch pan.
 |
| Step 8 |
9. Combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
10. Cut in the butter until its crumbly.
 |
| Steps 9 and 10 |
 |
| Step 11 |
12. If you use fresh blueberries, bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
If you use frozen blueberries, bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
13. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

I absolutely love blueberries - in fact I've been cooking with them quite a lot this week, making a pie and a new recipe for squares. I love your Blueberry Buckle recipe, and am so pleased that you can use frozen berries as it so much more economical and environmentally friendly than buying imported fresh ones this time of year in England!

I got a similar recipe from my mom, and I still use it. I never knew why it was called a buckle, though, so thanks for enlightening me!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes add chopped walnuts to the crumb topping; they toast in the oven and get especially yummy.
Looks so yummy!!!
