Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 8

To make the crumb topping, mix the flour and sugar for the topping in a small bowl. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in the chilled, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Cool the lemon blueberry buckle in the pan for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
