Number Of Ingredients 17

For the topping:
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
For the batter:
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 cups blueberries, picked over and rinsed
2 nectarines, pitted and cut into 1-inch wedges
whipped cream or ice cream as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Make the topping: In a small bowl blend together the butter, the sugar, the flour, the cinnamon, and the nutmeg until the mixture resembles coarse meal and chill the topping while making the batter.
  • Make the batter: In a small bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and the sugar and beat in the vanilla. In a small bowl stir together the baking powder, the flour, and the salt, beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture alternately with the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and fold in the blueberries and the nectarines.
  • Spread the batter in a well-buttered 10-by 2-inch round cake pan or 2-quart baking pan, sprinkle the topping evenly over it and bake the buckle in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean and the topping is crisp and golden.

TOPPING
4 Tbsp cold, unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 c sugar
1/3 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
BATTER
1-1/3 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
12 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
2 c fresh blueberries
2 large nectarines, pitted and cut into 1 inch pieces

Steps:

  • 2. Generously butter a 10 inch round cake pan and set aside.
  • 3. Sift dry ingredients together in a small bowl. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together at medium speed until fluffy. Add in the vanilla and the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in flour mixture until combined. Gently fold in blueberries and nectarines.
  • 4. Spread the batter in the baking pan and sprinkle with the TOPPING mixture. Bake on the middle rack at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean and the top should be crispy and brown. Let stand for 15 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Tips:

  • To ensure the buckle topping has a crispy and golden-brown crust, make sure the butter is cold and grated before incorporating it into the flour mixture.
  • Use fresh, ripe blueberries and nectarines for the best flavor and texture in your buckle.
  • For a sweeter buckle, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 10-inch cast iron skillet instead.
  • To check if the buckle is done baking, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the buckle is ready.
