Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Fresh Blueberries: Use ripe blueberries for maximum sweetness; they should be plump and bursting with juice.
• All-Purpose Flour: Standard flour works best; ensure it’s fresh for optimal texture.
• Sugar: Granulated sugar enhances sweetness; consider using brown sugar for depth.
• Baking Powder: This helps your buckle rise beautifully; check its freshness before use.
• Salt: A pinch enhances all flavors; don’t skip this essential ingredient!
• Unsalted Butter: Softened butter adds richness; I prefer European butter for an extra creamy touch.
• Eggs: Use large eggs at room temperature for better incorporation into your batter.
• Milk: Whole milk provides moisture and tenderness; feel free to swap with plant-based alternatives if needed.
• Cinnamon (Optional): A sprinkle adds warmth and spice but can be omitted if preferred.
• Sour Cream (Optional): Adds tanginess and moisture; Greek yogurt can also serve as a substitute.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and set aside while you whip up this beauty.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. This step ensures even distribution of all dry ingredients.

Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes will do wonders here! Enjoy the sweet aroma as you mix.

Add Eggs and Milk: Beat in eggs one at a time followed by milk until smooth. You want everything well combined without overmixing—just like life’s little challenges.

Incorporate Dry Mix: Gradually fold in your dry mixture using a spatula until just combined—no one wants a tough cake! Add those glorious blueberries gently into the batter.

Create Topping: In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cold butter chunks with your fingers until crumbly—this streusel topping is what dreams are made of!

Bake Away: Spread batter evenly into prepared pan and sprinkle topping over it generously. Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until golden brown—a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center.

And there you have it—the aroma wafting through your kitchen will have everyone asking when they can dig in! Let cool slightly before serving—you deserve those moments of anticipation.

Enjoy every slice of this delightful blueberry buckle!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

To achieve the best results, start by mixing your dry ingredients first. Then, blend the wet ingredients separately before combining them all together. This ensures even distribution of flavors and a fluffy texture in your Blueberry Buckle.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap fresh blueberries for frozen ones if needed, and add a sprinkle of lemon zest to enhance the flavor. You can also experiment with different spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a unique twist.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover Blueberry Buckle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. To reheat, pop it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.

It was my grandma’s recipe that started this whole blueberry obsession; she always made it on Sundays, filling our home with sweet scents that felt like a warm hug.
