Blueberry Buckle

Monday, September 15, 2008

Blueberry Buckle is one of those things that I’ve never attempted to make because Hubby speaks so highly of his mother’s Blueberry Buckle. I had never even had Blueberry Buckle before making it and I have to say it’s very yummy. Hubby thought it was a dessert. I thought it was more like a coffee cake with fruit in it.

The day I made this, I sat down to watch some Good Eats off the DVR. And what do you know, my boy Alton Brown made blueberry buckle. And what do you know, AB said that buckle is in fact coffee cake with fruit in it (turns out Hubby thought coffee cake was coffee flavored).

This recipe comes from my mother in law. I have no idea where she got it from. I do love getting recipes from her because she scribbles them in short hand onto a scrap piece of paper.

I just love the combination of white chocolate and fruit. Cherry sounds like a great addition to these cookies!

Creamy white chocolate is perfect with cherries. Those two together in a chewy cookie sound wonderful.

My brother is the same way – he loves maraschino cherries and will take any extras that he can get his hands on. I’m sure he would adore these!

Salted or unsalted butter?

  I always use unsalted butter in my baking.

I was thinking about putting this in a cake as a filing then frosting and covering with fondant. Would I then be able to leave the cake out on the counter for two nights before the party?

Thank you!
