Blueberry Buckle

Recipes have some funny names, don’t they? If you’re like me, you love a good blueberry buckle, blueberry cobbler or blueberry crisp. These traditional American dishes were made as far back as the first settlers, which just goes to show we’ve always known a good thing when we tasted it!
They’re all variations on pie, and all could be made with any fresh, seasonal fruit. Cobblers, crisps and buckles may have started as breakfast foods but made their way into the dessert course in the late 19th century.
Cobblers are a deep-dish fruit dessert, generally topped with a thick biscuit crust. Crisps are baked with fruit on the bottom and a crumb topping. The crumb topping may include nuts, cookie crumbs or oatmeal. Buckles are actually cakes with berries added to the batter, then topped with streusel. The name seems to have come from the buckled appearance it has when baked.
Try this simple recipe for Blueberry Buckle. Add a scoop of ice cream. I think you’ll call it heaven.For this recipe and more, visit Crisco.com.
