| A couple of blueberry "buckle" (I think) recipes.....the name is sometimes
very regional - as is the term, "buckle" - but the recipes are generally
renamed in different areas. These recipes are called, "roly poly" or
even simply "baked blueberry mush" (Mennonite cookbook - they aren't real
big on fancy names)...
BLUEBERRY ROLY POLY I
INGREDIENTS
-----------
2 cups sifted flour, sifted again with:
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup milk
2 cups blueberries
INSTRUCTIONS
------------
Cream butter and sugar until light. Add egg and beat well.
add vanilla to milk, stirring to mix. Alternate adding the dry
ingredients with the milk/vanilla mixture to the butter mixture,
beating well after each addition. Stir in the blueberries.
pour into a well buttered 9"x9"x2" pan. Bake in a pre-heated
350 degree oven until done (ah, you ask, "how long do I bake
it?" - well, apparently, the Mennonite women are born knowing
this stuff - it isn't included. I suggest you use the old
rule of thumb...bake approx. 30 - 40 minutes and then test
by inserting a knife blade in the middle and removing it.
If the blade is clean, the roly poly is done.)
STEAMED OR BAKED BLUEBERRY MUSH
INGREDIENTS:
------------
4 cups blueberries (or whatever) mixed with:
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups flour, sifted with:
2/3 teaspoon salt
3 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
INSTRUCTIONS:
-------------
Cream butter and sugar until light. Mix milk and egg together.
Add dry ingredients, by thirds, alternating with milk mixture,
to butter mixture. Mix well. Stir sweetened berries into
mixture, just to blend.
Here's the tricky part:
pour into a well-buttered casserole (no size given). You
can also use a steamed pudding mold. Either way, bake at
pre-heated 350 degrees or steam for 45 minutes.
gotta go - more later....

Here's a recipe for 'Blueberry Brickle' which may be similar to what
you are looking for. This is an old recipe from my great grandmother
Ruby Dow who was from Northern Maine.
Ruby's Blueberry Brickle
2 cups flour 1 egg
3 tsp. baking powder 2/3 cup milk
1/2 tsp. salt 2 cups blueberries
1 cup sugar 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/3 cup shortening
Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in shortening. Beat
eggs and milk together. Add to dry ingredients. Add blueberries.
Press in a 9-inch square pan, well greased. Sprinkle with Crumb
mixture and a few berries.
Crumb Mixture: Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 cup
flour, 4 tsp. butter -- sprinkle with lemon juice.

How long do you cook the blueberry brickle, and at what temperature?
I made it this weekend and it was good, but I guessed at the temp, and
kept putting it back in the oven because the middle wasn't cooked.

| Made this recipe last week for my husband, and he loved it! He raved
about it so much I'll have to make it again.
However, you forgot to mention how long to cook it for and at what
temperature. So, I looked up a similar recipe in my Betty Crocker
cookbook, and from what I can recall, I think it said to cook it
for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
