My review
Chef John's Blackberry Buckle
58k
Chef John
"This type of rustic dessert is called a buckle because the fruit sinks into the buttery batter as it bakes and 'buckles' the surface with its juicy weight. I was going to tell you to use any berry you want, but I changed my mind. This really needs to be done with blackberries. I added a handful of almond meal, since I had it around, and I think almonds and blackberries have a thing for one another."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Stir blackberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; let rest, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, almond meal, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Stir milk into flour mixture until batter is just combined.
- Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; pour into the bottom of a 8x12-inch baking dish. Pour batter over melted butter into the baking dish, using a spatula to gently distribute batter without mixing it into the butter, leaving a 1-inch butter border around the sides of the dish.
- Scatter blackberries over the batter and spoon any accumulated blackberry juices over the top.
- Bake buckle in the preheated oven until crisped and browned around the edges, about 1 hour.
- Melt remaining butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir almonds in hot butter until golden brown and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle toasted almonds over blackberry buckle and cool buckle to room temperature.

This recipe is pretty good. It wasn't overly sweet. The only thing I did differently was what I baked it in. I used my cast iron skillet & let it preheat in the oven. I melted the butter in the ...

I will definitely make this again. I used gluten free all purpose flour, and it worked out fine. It's so rare that I have a positive gluten free baking experience. I also could not find almon...

Tastes great, unfortunately for my diet. Even my berry-hating spouse likes it. Chef John is the gold standard of recipe mavens.

Yes, I will make it again but with changes. First, the recipe called for lining the pan in melted butter, but I used salted, and it made the batter too salty. Next time I will use unsalted but...

Made this with some of the fresh blackberries growing all over the Pacific Northwest right now. I used my 12-inch cast iron skillet and it fit great. Not sure if it's because the cast iron condu...
