My second recipe to try was blueberry buckle. It wasn’t nearly as easy as the blueberry smoothie but turned out delicious and wasn’t too hard to make! I used the following ingredients: Butter (I use a butter substitute such as Smart Balance), Sugar, Egg (fresh), Vanilla, Unbleached Flour, Baking Powder, Salt, Milk (local from the Huckins Farm), Blueberries (frozen), Cardamom, Nutmeg and Homemade Whipped Cream.
As the oven was preheating I creamed half the butter and half the sugar and then beat in the egg and vanilla. I did my best to follow the instructions and sifted the flour, baking powder and salt and then added it alternately with milk to the creamed mixture.
Then I poured it into a greased round pan as I didn’t have a square baking dish and topped it with blueberries and the sugar, flour, cardamom, nutmeg and butter mixture.
After baking for about 45 minutes and it was golden brown I took it out of the oven. It didn’t look like a typical blueberry buckle since it was round but it tasted the same 🙂
I sliced it like a pie and put a dollop of whipping cream on top and enjoyed!
