Claire Saffitz Makes The Perfect Blueberry Buckle | Dessert Person
One of Claire's favorite things about summer is spending time on Cape Cod with her family and eating her mom’s blueberry buckle. It’s a Martha Stewart recipe from many years ago, and it was her introduction to buckles, a category of streusel-topped cakes that incorporate lots of fruit. What Claire loves about Martha’s recipe is that it’s almost more fruit than cake, featuring clusters of berries barely held together by a tender batter. She wanted to create a similar blueberry buckle that incorporated the flavors and textures of corn, since corn and blueberries are natural partners. Claire does this two ways: First, crushed cornflakes are mixed into the streusel topping, contributing a light and satisfying crunch, and second, cornmeal is added to the batter, providing some textural contrast against the soft berries. Follow along with Claire Saffitz and serve the buckle with vanilla ice cream for dessert and then enjoy again for breakfast the next morning.

I'd love a whole behind the scenes cut where it shows you and the crew all enjoying your recipes together. Food is such a together thing. 💕

Also petition to have Vinny make a recipe on the channel

My mom has made a version of this every summer since my brother and I were little! As kids my brother and I called this blueberry bunkle - as adults (26 and 28 respectively) we found out LAST YEAR that this is actually called a buckle. When we brought it up to my mom she said it was just "too cute" to correct. Blueberry bunkle for life!

Claire: take the time to cream the butter and sugar
Also Claire: OK, I don't wanna do this anymore...
😆🤣

“Don’t let nonstick do butter’s job. Or whatever”
I love this. The whole thing. Claire is so passionate but also not over serious about it. Genuine and easy for the audience to be engaged. 💕

Claire: “creaming together sugar and butter is something many people gloss over”

Also claire: “I think we’re done creaming this together cause I really just don’t want to do it any longer.”

That intro was perfect and hilarious. Felix rules the house, but Claire rules the kitchen

What Claire said about blueberry desserts needing more salt makes so much sense. I like blueberry desserts but always felt like baked goods with blueberries had a slight blandness. Now I know!

i would love to hear more about how claire came to love baking and her educational background. we get lil bits here and there about her past but i'd love a lil story moment!!

I love when you mention these little comments about things Harris has said. “Salt & acid on 2nd date”, the best compliment ever on your One Day Fruit Cake, and, oh, the mysterious “this dishwasher saved my marriage”. And then there is his “I live here too”. Keep on keeping it real!

It says to look for the measurements in the video description, but there are none.

Dessert Person and What’s for Dessert is actually perfection in baking! Thank you guys so much for posting all of these recipes on youtube! The work you guys do is an absolute work of art! Thank you so much Claire!

[Rodviet]

Can't wait to have the book in my hands! You've changed my cooking experience completely Claire, thank you so much for all the knowledge you share with us💕

Felix truly came into his own today and stole the show 😆! I'll admit I was astonished at the amount of blueberries going in, but the streusel was so generous, it helped balance out the fruit nicely. Well done, Claire. Respectfully, Felix needs his own show... 😁

I love this blueberry buckle! We had the full blueberry experience - I served this with homemade blueberry ice cream and fresh Quebec wild blueberries! Delicious! Second time around I had no cornflakes, and so I replaced cornflakes with large flake oats. I prefer the crunchy cornflakes but oats also work in a pinch. Thanks for a great recipe and video !

I loved Martha Stewart Living!! I am still obsessed with the small copies of Everyday Food my mom would get each month.

I was introduced to this dessert decades ago, but I love the riffing Claire did with the cornmeal and corn flakes! Making this for when family comes after the holidays.

[JaxHolder]

I just made this today and it is unbelievably delicious 😋 I can't wait to have more for breakfast

[bloodwolf]

I'm not the kind of person to buy things often, but these youtube videos have convinced me to get both Dessert Person and What's for Dessert, everything just looks so good!

This was the first recipe I made from the new book and it was awesome! Loved the cornflake crumble.
