Blueberry Buckle Dessert
Blueberry crisp, brown betty, crumble, cobbler and now buckle! ChefGail didn’t know how the latter got its name, but she suspected it’s the cracks that appear in the top when it’s finished baking.

Cake:
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour

Recipe Notes
I love the simplicity of it and the fact that I’ve made it with a combination of berries, peaches and mango and all have turned out to be delicious! It’s best to use a cake pan with a removable base such as a spring form pan. This dessert freezes well too. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions: Serve with sweetened whipped cream, Liberté lemon yogurt or gelato.
