Blueberry Buckle Recipe
Description
This recipe makes a blueberry buckle by creaming sugars, butter, egg, and lemon zest with lemon juice, then gently mixing in flour, baking powder, salt, and milk. Fresh blueberries are tossed with cornstarch to prevent sinking and folded into the batter before spreading into a greased baking pan. A crumb topping of butter, brown and white sugars, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg is sprinkled over the batter to create a spiced crunchy layer. The buckle bakes until a toothpick comes out clean, indicating a tender yet firm crumb.
After cooling, a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice is drizzled on top for added brightness and sweetness. This dessert is suited for serving sliced at gatherings or as a sweet snack with tea or coffee. The lemon and spices bring out the flavor of the fresh blueberries in a tender cake.
