Huckleberry Buckle

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of softened butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In another large bowl, gently toss the huckleberries with the remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and the boiling water. Carefully pour this mixture over the batter in the pan, distributing the berries evenly. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Dot the top of the berry mixture with the small pieces of butter. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the buckle is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. (45-50 minutes)

Recipe View Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
