Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour for topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter chilled and diced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat granulated sugar with softened butter until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula, being careful not to crush them.
  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in chilled butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the topping is golden brown.
  • Let the buckle cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For a variation, try substituting fresh raspberries or blackberries for the blueberries. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
