First of all, my very nice sister-in-law sent me this website that you all need to go look at www.joyofbaking.com/EnglishTeaParty.html So many really good recipes, complete with many videos - a real treasure trove.
To continue that theme I am going to give you "Gramma Geores Blueberry Buckle" That's pronounced Jor-.rees It's Swedish, but rare. Supposedly only our relatives here in the US have it, but I have found a few unrelated ones. Buckle is an old name for a fruited coffee cake, in the same family, sort of, as grunts and slumps. In my other grandmother's recipe book - the one from Switzerland, who had hotel service training - a coffee cake was made with coffee.
Anyway, back to the recipe. This is good anytime and is wonderful for tea.
Oven at 350, greased 9x12 pan
Mix in your mixer
3cups flour,
4 teaspoons baking powder
1.5 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup sugar
Add in the order given, mixing after each
2/3 cup of butter, softened
2 well-beaten eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
1 pint or more of blueberries
You can use frozen blueberries, but DO NOT thaw them before you add them.
Streusal topping 1/2 cup butter,
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup flour
scant teaspoon cinnamon
There are 2 ways to do the streusal, either right away or 1/2 through the baking. The former oozes into the cake, the latter remains more on top. You choose.
Bake 35-40 minutes, turning once or twice for even baking. Leave it in the pan to cool.
No tea today, I am just not up for tasting, just drinking

This recipe sounds lovely...it would make a terrific breakfast bread for Christmas morning. Thank you for sharing!! :)
oh, yummmm!!!!!! Happy holidays to you!
Yes, this is wonderful breakfast stuff, says I as I had some this morning. It really needs nothing with it as the sunken streusal adds a lot of butter and sugar. Plus, it goes together in about 10 minutes. My kind of goodie!
