Equipment

  • 8×8 inch baking pan
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • Stand mixer
  • Fork

Ingredients
  

For the Streusel

  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (60g)
  • 0.25 cup packed light brown sugar (55g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

For the Buckle

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (180g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened (113g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup whole milk (120mL)
  • 2.5 cups fresh blueberries (394g)

Instructions
 

For the Streusel

  • In a small bowl, stir together the flour, sugars, and cinnamon. Using a fork or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly. Chill until ready to use.

For the Buckle

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with baking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Beat in the vanilla.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add a third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Pour in half of the milk, beating until just incorporated. Repeat, alternating with the milk and flour mixture. Fold in 2 cups of blueberries.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with the chilled streusel topping and the remaining ½ cup of blueberries.
  • Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, tenting after 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not over-mix the streusel topping, or it may become paste-like in texture. Make sure to measure your flour correctly.
