Blueberry Buckle

A buckle differs from other, similar desserts like cobblers or crumbles primarily because of the texture of the batter.

By using baking powder and the right ratio of ingredients, the batter will rise up enough to be cake-like but will still be light enough to allow the fruit places over the batter to sink in a little bit. These sinking fruits cause the batter to buckle, hence the name of this delicious dessert.

How Do You “Cut” In Butter?

A lot of different baking recipes tend to include a term of “cutting” in butter into the flour. How on earth do you do that?

To cut butter into flour or other dry ingredients is really simple, except for the fact that it requires a bit of effort.

Using a fork, you sort of smashing the butter into the flour, breaking it up bit by bit until the flour completely coats all of the small globules of butter.

The reason you cut the butter into the flour instead of just mixing it is that it ensures that all of the flour is completely blended into the flour mixture.

You can actually buy special butter cutting tools that make it really easy, but why buy an entire tool when a regular fork will do?

What To Top Your Blueberry Buckle With

A great quality of blueberry buckle is that it can be topped with all sorts of different toppings.

Some lightly toasted pecans would also be a great addition here or even a more complicated custard sauce as well.

Or, for real simplicity, the most traditional things to top this with would be some vanilla ice cream, or you could also use some regular whipped cream instead.
