For some reason I can’t seem to keep blueberries and lemons away from each other. To me, they are just the most delicious combination for most baked goods. Tangy/sweet berries and the tartness of lemon all rolled up into one fabulous treat to have with your morning coffee or tea. It just doesn’t get much better than that, IMHO. This recipe was given to me by my friend and neighbor Mary. She is my Three Sheets To The Wind floating/beverage sipping buddy and my go~to gal for all things broken when Joe is gone. Plus, she’s a great baker to boot!
As you know, I am ALWAYS looking for something yummy for our weekend treat. The usual scones and muffins (which, don’t get me wrong, I simply LOVE) just weren’t sounding really good. Enter…Mary…and her Blueberry Buckle. I added lemon juice and zest, of course, because, well, I just can’t not do that. Ever. Either way, it’s just so darned good and far from being too dry or heavy. I actually ate two large pieces consecutively~and no, I am not the least bit ashamed of myself…it’s just so easy to do with this. It’s super easy and makes a 9×13 pan…so there’s plenty to share with your neighbor. We hope you enjoy this scrumptious treat as much as we do! Have a great weekend y’all!
PS~yes, I DID go overboard on the pics…sometimes it’s just so hard to choose only a few…enjoy!
