Description

This huckleberry buckle recipe is made with sugar, huckleberries, and butter, creating a unique cobbler-like pastry baked below the tangy fruit filling.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups white sugar, divided
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups huckleberries
1/2 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.) Grease the bottom of a 9-inch square pan.
2 Beat ½ cup sugar and ¼ cup butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
3 Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl: stir mixture into butter mixture. Stir in milk until thick and slightly lumpy. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
4 Combine remaining ¾ cup sugar, berries, and boiling water in a large bowl; pour over batter in the pan. Dot with butter over top.
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes.
