I have made this many times and it is always loved.

Topping:
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 cup butter

Batter:
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups blueberries, washed and stems removed (if using frozen toss with a bit of flour first to avoid purple batter)

To make the topping, stir the sugar, flour , cinnamon, and butter with a fork in a small bowl. Continue until the mixture crumbles. Set aside

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease 9" square pan.

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, and sugar, add the eggs one at a time, and stir in the milk.
Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into a separate bowl. Gradually stir it into the butter and sugar mixture. Fold in the blueberries, then spread the batter into the pan. Sprinkle the topping over the batter

Bake the blueberry buckle for forty-five minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out dry. Let cool, then cut into squares. Serves 8.

I have made this every year as soon as we have enough ripe berries on our blueberry bushes. It's always a "HIT"! The buckle never gets a chance to cool before it's devoured.
