Blueberry Buckle

 Some of the best ideas for meals come from having an overabundance of ingredient on hand.  This happens a lot in our house; today the magical ingredient is blueberries.  When Brian asked me, as he does every Sunday, what I wanted for breakfast I mentioned that we had a whole lot of blueberries in the fridge.  He headed to the internet and started searching.  Blueberry pancakes?  Nah....we had pancakes yesterday.  Coffee cake?  Hmmmm.....maybe.   How about a blueberry buckle?  What is a "buckle" exactly?? 

This cake is another one of Alton Brown's recipes....if Brian is making something there's a good chance the recipe is one of his!    Warm blueberries and a kick-butt crunch topping.  However,  now that I've had a buckle I'm still not sure what the difference is between a buckle and a plain 'ol coffeecake.  I guess the buckle is a bit softer, and it kind of "falls apart" when cut and requires a spoon to remove it from the pan.  Perhaps an email to A.B. will get that all sorted out, maybe he'll even feature buckles on a future episode of Good Eats!  :)
