I made this recipe yesterday and last night there was only one piece left. Since I had more blueberries thawed and drained I made another one this morning. It is so delicious!!

I would just make sure the the butter is soft if you are going to use butter. I have always used shortening but you never know unless you try! Let me know how you make out!

Well Beth let me start out by saying, this was truly the yummiest buckle I have ever tasted, I did use the butter instead of shortening, since that was all I had on had and I really needed to use the blueberries and I don't know how the shortening tastes in the recipe but the butter was perfect. I also forgot to keep a stick of butter in the refrigerator for the topping so (since I was baking at 12am) I figured I would try it and it worked out beautiful. It looks beautiful it tasted yummy and was really easy to make. I made it Tuesday well actually Wednesday morning and needless to say its GONE!! It is a desert I will definitely make over and over and it will be the dessert I will bring to BBQ's and Picnics. Thank you sooo much for sharing. Oh I split the sugar 1/4 c. brown sugar and 1/4c. white only because I like the flavor of brown sugar. Maybe U would like to try it next time, and I used between 2 and 3 cups of blueberries just because I had to get rid of them :) !!!

Kayley, I am so glad you liked it, and I'm glad the butter worked out well for you. I usually add more blueberries then is called for too, just because I like blueberries, I will try the brown sugar next time, I just never thought of it! That's why I love sharing recipes to see what people do with them!
