Blueberry Buckle Recipe Don'ts

 https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/7985/blueberry-buckle/

Here are some good ol’ recipe DON’TS I learned while baking this blueberry buckle. 

#1 Don’t assume it’s 2 CUPS of flour like you’re used to with cookies and breads. It may just be 2 TABLESPOONS. 

#2 When it says “warm butter,” don’t heat it up til totally melted on the stove.

#3 If you just can’t wait for butter to warm naturally by sitting out and do the don’t in number 2, at least don’t put it in the freezer to “cool off,” because you will forget it and you will get frozen butter, and you’ll be putting it back on the stove to warm back up. But maybe try on LOW and actually watch it this time.

#4 Don’t be too cavalier about flour. It will get everywhere. 

#5 Don’t give up. I poured my eggs and sugar mixture into my two heaping cups of flour and thought, hmph that just doesn’t look right. Do I need more milk? What is this supposed to even look like? After checking the recipe again and thinking surely SOMEWHERE it said 2 cups. I couldn’t have goofed that bad. “Cup” and “tablespoon” don’t look anything alike. They even wrote out “tablespoon” so I couldn’t even get away with similar length confusion. 

But I did not quit I washed those two dirty bowls and spatula, warmed some more butter (only mildly more careful the 2nd time around), and redid the whole darn thing. Well minus the topping at least since I hadn’t gotten quite that far. 

And it was darn delicious. There would’ve been a picture but I plated it tooo quick. 

Good luck fellow bakers.
