Here’s a simple summery recipe for Blueberry Buckle.
A buckle is like a coffee cake with a crumbly topping. This particular topping is so delicious that you could eat it all day long.
I prefer it served warm with a bit of vanilla ice cream on top. OR be bold and serve it as a coffee cake when fresh blueberries are in season!
