Blackberry Buckle

This will be a short post today. I only have time for a quickie.

Oh, shuddup. I don’t have time for immature giggles.

Fine. I do. I always have time for immature giggles.

Quickie. Heh.

The thing is, my mother and grandmother are coming over today and I’m feeling the need to banish some dustbunnies from existence. Also, my bathroom mirror is so coated in toothpaste that you truly can’t even see yourself.

Don’t even ask me about the floor around the toilet. This is a food blog. Trust me when I say that you don’t even want to know.

Fine, I’ll give you a hint. I live with boys. ‘Nuff said.

Anyway, today I have a recipe for blackberry buckle. It’s a favorite of mine. It’s sort of cakey and biscuity at the same time. And, oh my word, is it ever simple. Seriously, you can whip this up in no time.

Not in the mood for blackberry buckle? How about blackberry cobbler?

This one won first prize in a cobbler competition once. I won a set of mini pie dishes. I was so excited until I received my prize. I expected my pie dishes to be 3 or 4 inches in diameter…you know, personal sized pie dishes. No. They were 1 inch in diameter and only useful for laughing at.

Ah, well. The buckle and the cobbler taste good regardless of any lame prize received.

Blackberry Buckle

This Blackberry Buckle is a delicious and simple way to use up those blackberries! It's very similar to a cobbler, but called a buckle because the berries are sprinkled on top and the cake "buckles" under the weight.

Ingredients:

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 cups blackberries (frozen or Fresh), rinsed and dried
2 tablespoons sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt the butter in a microwave safe dish.
Mix together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk in the milk and melted butter, stirring until just incorporated.
Butter a pie plate or similar sized baking dish.
Pour the batter into the buttered dish and sprinkle the blackberries over the top evenly.
Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and place in the oven for 40 minutes.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and continue baking 15-20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Thanks for explaining why a buckle is called a buckle (vs. a cobbler). Never knew the difference and now I get it. This looks fabulous!

I too live with boys. Even the cat is male. I imagine my house is in a similar state! Cx

Blackberries are my favorite. So happy they aren’t in season, or I’d be stuffin’ my face right now! Looks absolutely FABULOUS!

Your timing is exquisite. The farmer’s market had blackberries on special yesterday for 88 cents each. (6 oz. containers) I adore blackberries and picked up a couple of packages — and immediately went online to find a basic buckle recipe. Thanks for sharing. My blackberry buckle is in the oven right now. I don’t think mine will look quite as gorgeous as yours, but it’s going to taste wonderful.

They both look delicious, actually. Your quickie post is a good one! I don’t have any blackberries but I do have frozen blueberries and raspberries. I wonder how a combo would work?

I live with 1/2 a boy (roommate’s boyfriend) and yes…our bathroom has definitely gone south since he “moved in”. I don’t know how he does it. but there is toothpaste EVERYWHERE. at least he has good aim though.

yay cake and pudding all in one! See, quickies can definitely be fun. when they involve blackberries and ice cream on top.

I can’t believe I’ve never made a buckle before! I’ll have to give it a try and use up all my berries in the fridge.

The blackberry buckle looks great, but that oreo spread has done me in!

There are two kinds of women: “cookymaid” and chambermaid . You are the first. Together it’s impossible. !!!!
So, urgent a chambermaide (for a barter)…..

Blackberries were only 88 cents a package last week so I made this recipe. It was amazing – a keeper. Every time I see blackberries on sale, this is what I am going to make. It has so much fruit in it I think it cancels out the butter and sugar. Thanks.
