Blueberry Buckle
4.1 (959 reviews)
Due to their intense color, balanced flavor and unique texture, blueberries are my favorite fruit for baking. And when it comes to baking, you can’t beat a buckle, an old-fashioned streusel-topped blueberry coffee cake.Although I may be a loyal cobbler fan, I think it’s high time Americans rediscover the art of the buckle. Both U.S. standard and metric measurements are listed, but for consistently delicious results, go metric. This recipe first appeared in Season 11 of Good Eats.
