Servings 6 people

Ingredients

For the batter

  • 9 ounces cake flour about 2 cups
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 ounces butter room temperature
  • 5 ¼ ounces sugar about ¾ cup
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries whole
  • 1 ½ cups fresh peaches diced

For the topping:

  • ¼ cup light or dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 2 ounces cold butter cut into cubes

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and ginger. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Then add in the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Take turns adding the milk and flour mixture with the mixer set to low speed. Do about ⅓ of each at a time. Let them fully incorporate and then do the other.
  • Stop the mixer and gently stir in the fruit. Don't mix it in with the mixer.

To make the topping

  • Combine the flour, sugar, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.
  • Using your hands, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

To bake the buckle

  • Spray an 8 or 9 inch baking dish (round or square) with non-stick spray
  • Pour the batter into the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
  • Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  • Allow the buckle to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • The buckle will be good for a couple days after baking.

Notes

You can eat the buckle when warm, but the fruit will firm up more once it has cooled.
