Yield:
12Ingredients
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup whole milk
2 cups wild Maine blueberries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375° and butter a 9×9-inch baking pan. In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary. Add the egg and combine.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, until well combined. Add the blueberries and fold a few times with a rubber spatula until just combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Are frozen blueberries ok to use? Thanks!
I think I would soak in granulated sugar overnight first. Then I’m sure it would be fine!
That not a Blueberry Buckle or what I would call Blueberry Buckle.
Then what is Your version?
Very old and delicious buckle recipe. Got exactly the same recipe 40 years ago from a then 70 yr old family friend. Never found better.
I’ve had this recipe for years but have used brown sugar for the crumb topping. So good. I’ve also used the frozen Maine blueberries which will turn your batter a lovely bluish-purple, but tastes just as good.
Batter is very dense. Frozen blueberries turned the batter purple.
I use Wymans frozen Maine blueberries. I rinse them, dry them a bit, then toss with a bit of flour before adding to the batter. No purple batter!
I generally use Wymans frozen Maine Blueberries being season is too short in New England ( 🙁 ). Thank you for the suggested tip!
This is exactly the Blueberry Buckle I’ve been making for years, can’t beat it!
This is an easy and very delicious buckle. Try it out — you won’t be sorry!
This is a classic and delicious recipe. It is a thick batter but spreads easily. Topping is crunchy and yummy.
Love these recipes!
Looking forward to making this thanks for information.
This is the first time I’ve ever made a “buckle”……it’s not common in England. It’s turned out fine and I’m taking it into my sons school tomorrow to share with the staff.
Delicious! I made this recipe and it’s delicious. I shared it with my daughter’s family and it’s a “hit”! Little Landon (3 yrs old) loved the name and wants me to make more “funny name” foods! Thank you for a great recipe!
Can I put these in a muffin tin & have them turn out o.k.?
Can this recipe be made into muffins?
Lovely, almost like the Nfld recipe, which hasbeen made for years.
Lovely !!!….Thank You YANKEE from an Ohioan !
Iove my yankee magazine
Love this blueberry buckle recipe. Does not use too much butter very light blueberries are a great touch. Will stick with this recipe
I made your recipe for Blueberry Boy Bait. It was outstanding! Will try this recipe too.
This recipe sounds so good I decided to make it today with almond flour. I used 1 whole egg plus three egg whites to bind. When using almond flour it isn’t 1:1 ratio. Use 3/4 cup if recipe calls for a full cup. Soooo I wonder how it will turn out? We all have our fingers crossed!!????will have to let you know????
About to try. Can butter flavored Crisco be use in place of butter
This was a winner! I made this in an 11×7 clear pan with so-so rather mushy winter blueberries. It was absolutely delicious in every way. I can’t wait to make it again. Thank you for this perfect recipe. It’s a keeper.
