Our family has had a long-standing tradition of
baking muffins for breakfast on Saturday mornings. But we have to confess . . .
we’ve been deviating a bit lately. J We’ve been in the mood to try some
coffee cakes and other pastries for a change. We pulled this recipe out of our
archives and gave it a try (it had been years since Mom had made it.) The rest
of us *loved* it, and I have a feeling we may have a new favorite. With
blueberry season upon us, now would be a great time to try it!
Blueberry Buckle
¼ cup butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
2 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Topping:
¼ cup all purpose flour
¼ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup cold butter
Optional
glaze:
¼ cup confectioner’s sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons milk
½ tsp. vanilla
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs
and vanilla; mix well. Combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder and salt; add to
creamed mixture alternately with milk. Mix well. Fold berries into batter.
Spread batter in a greased 9 inch square baking pan.
For topping, combine flour, sugars and cinnamon;
cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over batter.
Bake 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes
out clean.
For glaze, combine ingredients; drizzle over warm
buckle. Serves 9.
Note: Our
family multiplied this recipe by 1 ½ and baked it in a 9x13 inch pan.

A few weeks ago somewhat of a war broke out in our family room. 10 pm and we have our 7 cousins over. Everyone got hungry, and their was quite the argument abut what to make for a snack. We were all unified in one belief: it must be something from your family blog! After searching your recipes for quite some time, the room was split in half: Bianca's blueberry buckle or Bianca's quick cinnamon rolls? The decision ended up being made by the COOKS. Though it caused some hurt feelings, we went with quick cinnamon rolls. They were, as usual, delicious.... but next time they're over, I know that blueberry buckle will be the assumed snack. :) We love your recipes, and the photography that accompanies each one.
Oh my goodness, Lydia! I'm surprised a war broke out over a midnight snack! :-) That's so funny what y'all were unified on. :-) I'm glad that folks liked the cinnamon rolls, and I hope that you do get a chance to try the blueberry buckle next time!
