Blueberry Buckle

Dear Sis,

Blueberries were on sale last week, so we made scones, ate blueberries until our hearts’ content, and decided to make blueberry buckle before the last few cups spoiled. Blueberry buckle was your signature pastry for a while when you were young. I loved the cake, but the crumble was too dry, so when I looked for a base recipe I looked for one that had a similar cake and a more sugary crumble.

What is Blueberry Buckle? Josh was curious so I explained that it is a coffee cake, which is served at breakfast or brunch. He then asked, “why it isn’t called Blueberry Coffee Cake.” I just laughed, “because it’s not and it’s been that way so long no one remembers why.”
