Blueberry Buckle
I got the blueberry buckle recipe from a fantasimo cookbook called The Grassroots Cookbook- Great American Recipes From Kitchens Across The Land by Jean Anderson. I've been using it for years and years and years. I searched online and you can pick one up on Amazon for a mere buck, so go getcha one if you're so inclined.
It has recipes like; Carrot Pecan Cake with Fresh Orange Glaze, Batter-Fried Chicken, Crab Imperial, Self-Rising Biscuits and oh so much more mouth watering old fashioned goodness I just can't tell you lest we all slip across the floor on our own saliva.
The blueberry buckle recipe comes from Mrs. William E. Schumpf of Penobscot County, Maine. Her friends call her "Brownie", but I call her "Mrs. Blueberry Buckle."
I wanted to make this and take beautiful pictures, but, ummm, well, that's just not gonna happen. My children's social calendar has filled up this week and therefore my butt is forming a permanent indentation in the driver's seat of my van and if I made the buckle I would just be spreading the dent and that just ain't pretty.
So, here ya go.

Yum...sounds delicious. Why "buckle," I wonder? Because you have to loosen it if you eat too much?
Thank you so much for the recipe. I bought 6 pints yesterday & 6 pints today (6 pts for $7.00 at Shop Rite with card), unfortunately they're all washed, dried & frozen already. Guess I'll have to buy another 6 pts. tomorrow..... I'm leaving here to go to Amazon right now to order the book.
Ooooh. Sounds delicious. I'm going to try it after work. Thanks!
Great...something to use some our tons of fresh blueberries on. I will try this soon. "slip across the floor on our own saliva"...that left me with a vivid picture in my head. ha ha ha
Man your killing me here. I love to bake, I mean love as in I get teary eyed at the thought of hot fresh baked goods. Yum, however, I was called fluffy the other day. As in a lady pointed towards me and tells her daughter, "right past that lady, you know the fluffy one in blue". Okay, I was the only one in blue in the whole store.....sniff sniff....
wait, is this low fat?????
