5-Ingredient, One-Bowl Blueberry Buckle? Yes, Please.
A Big Little Recipe has the smallest-possible ingredient list and big everything else: flavor, creativity, wow factor. That means five ingredients or fewer—not including water, salt, black pepper, and certain fats (like oil and butter), since we’re guessing you have those covered. This week, Great American Baking Show winner and Big Little Recipes guest columnist Vallery Lomas is sharing an ultra-simple, ultra-smart cake from her upcoming cookbook, Life Is What You Bake It.
What’s a buckle, anyway? It often gets lumped into the same category as cobblers, crisps, and crumbles, but it’s really its own thing—a simple, buttery cake filled with lots of fruit, like berries or peaches. When baked, the batter sinks and creates little craters, or buckles, around the berries on top. That’s how this dessert gets its cute name.
