Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar (for topping)
• 0.3 cups All-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, diced, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/4 cup of softened butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Beat in the egg, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the 1.5 cups of fresh blueberries with a spatula, being careful not to crush them.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 8

To prepare the topping, combine 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 0.3 cups of all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the 4 tablespoons of cold, diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until crumbly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the buckle from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
