This buckle won a contest at my daughter’s college. The prize was four lobsters, but the real reward was the smile on our daughter’s face. —Dianne van der Veen, Plymouth, Massachusetts

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk and melted butter until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in blueberries. Transfer to a greased 9-in. square baking pan.
  2. For topping, in a small bowl, mix sugar, flour and cinnamon. Using a fork, stir in softened butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.
  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes (do not overbake) . Cool in pan on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Blueberries
If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.
