Claire Saffitz Makes The Perfect Blueberry Buckle | Dessert Person

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.

Claire is to me what Martha is to Claire

[@Einteil_]

Omg THIS!!! ❤

[@Mbhugstrees]

Yes!!!!!!!

[@arexandwa]

I must be old cus I feel the same way as Claire 🤣

[@mavricksone]

@@arexandwasame, Martha is the OG

[@elizabethreilly9952]

Felix! That roar 😂

[@kiery2306]

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

[@anadraguleanu8710]

Yes! That would be amazing!

[@worm_slop]

I think it was mentioned in a previous episode but if I remember correctly Vinny is a bit camera shy especially when it comes to doing a recipe

[@johnnytsunami420]

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!

[@SPNforever4]

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!

[@TheBereangirl]

Lol…that is too cute…blueberry bunkle for life!❤️

[@anakhanair_]

So sweet ! ❤️

[@puppyslime8131]

this is so sweet omg

[@willglover418]

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.”

[@benjimartinez7429]

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

[@emi1996i]

“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. 💕

[@lechatbotte.]

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

[@jcthompson7666]

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!

[@DebbaTV]

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... 😁

[@TheBereangirl]

Felix roar and cuddle, homage to Martha Stewart, adorable quote from the husband, and delicious blueberry cake for breakfast, yep…another great episode!❤

[@shadowperson0456]

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!

[@bloodwolf2609]

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!

[@alicelindborg5096]

They are both at my library. The print in what’s for dessert is really small. Difficult for us seasoned citizens 😩

[@Stradivarisaurus]

I love these videos so much. Just watching Claire make food or having her videos playing in the background is so calming and a ritual for me when i have late nights for schoolwork.

[@gabrielcarvalho6354]

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

[@sovigilent6874]

Always making my Thursdays great Claire!!! Thank you ❤

[@laurenschenck5355]

YOU MAKE MY THURSDAYS THE BEST DAYS thanks 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💕

[@audiomxr]

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.

[@Blackolive28]

Just finished "The Big Brunch" and I got so nostalgic for you and Sohla, my two favorite ladies. I'm so excited for both of you. You keep making cookbooks and I will keep buying them. Thank you for all of your work over the years.

[@lindagraham3657]

I hope that one day someone makes a supercut of all of the delightful cat moments (and chickens and any other animals) from these wonderful videos.

[@kookykiddo]

omg perfect start to the morning, Claire! Thank you 💕💕💕

[@gradeaadventurer]

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!!

[@isaacrosales1125]

Love your channel and you Claire!! Thank you for sharing your talent, I look forward to your videos every week!!

[@TheAbabudoiu]

Martha + Claire = my baking dream coming true

[@pegparrish3512]

One of my favorites, thanks Claire! 😘

[@patricia9001]

I just got your book and believe it or not this was the first recipe I tried! I did halve it and used a smaller pan (something like a 7-inch) and that worked well! It was so yummy and I could put to use the wild blueberries we picked last summer. Love the new book, beautiful pictures and impeccable descriptions ❤

[@Shakeandbake1990]

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

[@geenamustin]

How exciting! I just purchased all the ingredients last night to make this recipe tonight! What a happy Thursday!

[@JamesD17]

its pretty simple and i can eat it ten times 💖 thank you claire!

[@kennethbitanga4800]

Claire I got your new cookbook and I’ve been so excited to try some of the recipes!! 🥰🥰

[@kellywright9791]

I love Martha too. That Pies and Tarts Book was my text book and memorized her pie dough! Martha forever!!😊

[@antonellachilombo7629]

I followed this recipe, and it was the best thing I've baked in my life!

[@ithacaicecream]

I would totally buy Claire merch that says Half of the Remaining/ Third of the Total Love seeing so many videos lately and your collab with King Arthur!! Their facility in VT is gorgeous, I loved taking some classes there! Wonderful people, wonderful company!

[@erikalee8899]

I made your caramelized honey pumpkin pie last week, soooo good & will be my 'go to' pumpkin pie for years to come. I agree that honey smells kinda like mushrooms (& I only used store brand honey)! Very much enjoying your first book & your new one is on my xmas list for sure!

[@nikkiloves78]

I didn't know that I LOVE Buckles! Thanks Claire! Making this fruit filled cake w/streusel topping today! 😊

[@user-lo4lg1xe3g]

I just got your What’s For Dessert book and I absolutely love it!

[@erin_ly]

Love ya, Claire! Gonna try this recipe!

[@laurenschenck5355]

Looks so delicious and amusing perfect for any holiday 😊

[@TextileHouse]

You were reading my mind because I had just put a post it on this recipe to make it this week. I love that I had a chance to see you make it. I am floored with the baking time in it. Will be jumping into it asap.

[@jamesktucker979]

Me too, Who knew?

[@alexproulx8431]

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

[@christinalucas5540]

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 !

[@BadHairdayKimmie]

THANK YOU for using a hand mixer! Some of us don't have access to a stand mixer and the batter and process clearly looks and acts differently.

[@cswizzle22]

my dad loves to bake and uses oats in the crumble on top, it’s amazing!

[@mayarosales09]

I'm down with a bad case of the flu (not COVID, surprisingly!) and watching Claire's videos is exactly the chill, healing vibe I need to manage my headaches and chest pains 🥺 love you Claire! Can't wait to get my hands on your latest book this Christmas 🤗

[@teeandessing12]

You're in luck because it's holiday season and apparently everyone's featuring Claire. Go watch her on New York Times youtube of her making candy, Vice youtube had her on to make blondies and King Arthur Baking youtube had her on to make donuts. It's the season of Claire! I hope you start to feel better soon.

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Good afternoon Claire, this cake looks absolutely delicious. It is a no nonsense cake as well. It is not too much work, once you have set up your ingredients, it goes fairly quick and easy. The amount of blue berries settled lovely during baking. The streusel topping adds the final touch. I will have to make this I can just imagine the flavours. Blue berries are extremely expensive where I am alas, I will make a plan. The video was nice to watch, you keep me interested and your kitchen is easy. Thank you for sharing and the tips are most informative. Have a good day, many blessings. It's my son's birthday, he always enjoys chocolate cake so that is what I baked this morning, it looks good in the pans so it will assemble fine. We all enjoy cake in the home!!

[@alannawallen6764]

Now THIS is my kinda desserttttttt ❤❤❤

[@HashbrwnWarrior]

Thank you for going into and explaining the often skipped over techniques! I appreciate all the teaching you do 😊 also the way you hold the hand mixer did stress me out (it looked a little out of control) until you explained why and I think I may adopt that style.

[@BigDH28]

Omg! That looks freakin incredible! 🤭😱👌👍

[@laurenschenck5355]

Happy of December 1TH Claire ❤️🎄💚

[@catherineanngavile320]

Thank you for another great recipe! I made this exactly as written, and it was perfect! Shared it, but my husband and I ate about half of it in 2 days! I am thinking of trying an apple version, augmenting the apple flavor by adding freeze dried apple (ground) to the streusel. Any thoughts as to whether or not this would work?

[@mompreneurlife]

❤mmm certainly one of my favorites as well. i also love that it can be eaten for breakfast as well as dessert. ❤

[@Rae-yv9ef]

I was about to go to sleep and saw Claire uploaded I was like YAY cozy yummy video then I’ll sleep😊

Breakfast cake is the best cake of the day! 😸

[@jordanwallace2656]

i need someone who looks at me the way felix looks at vinny

[@bouchonaise124135]

Made this for some friends this weekend. I used dark brown suger on the top streusel bit becasue i didn't have light, and It burned a tiny bit, i just picked off the burnt bits and made another topping in the toaster oven and re-sprinkled it, it was fine. overall, incredibly good, very moist, big blueberry flavor, very fun to make with my partner.

[@scottyplug]

Congrats on a Million Subs!!!!

[@Mich6961]

I was about to ask where's the measurements but then someone in the comments pointed out that it's in the very beginning of the video roughly at the 0:44 mark. Comes and goes pretty quick so you have to pause at the right time.

[@ReginaldTAP3]

This episode is truly hilarious!

[@savannamm]

Saving this for when we go pick bluebs next year

[@xyzpdq1122]

What did you drizzle on top at the end? Creme Anglaise?

[@turr8894]

This is totally unrelated but the lettuce cup thing at the latter end of the video just stole my attention. It's so cute!

[@Zillah82]

Felix getting on the counters and trying to eat baked goods makes me feel better about my cat Jiji doing it while I do a cooking stream on Twitch. The strussel on top of this cake sounds really good. Never thought of adding corn flakes to it.

[@jasonkrech8948]

One of the best things I have ever baked.

I made this today ! It is delicious and I will make it regularly…..Lol will be breakfast tomorrow ! Generously buttered a 9X9 pan no springform

[@molliewatts6445]

Vinny and Cal are exactly what Claire needs 🙂

[@224Alaina]

Looks delish! Is there a benefit to adding un-beaten eggs? I sometimes beat my eggs before adding to batters so it's easier to combine. But would this impact the texture? Or are the eggs added as whole most because it's fewer dishes to clean later?

[@brendanmorales4504]

I want to try this one

[@hanataba3117]

Claire, I hold my hand mixer the same way as you. I find gripping the hand mixer on the middle on the handle to tire my wrist way faster than if I (like you) hold it more on the back of the handle or even at the back of the body of the mixer. Holding it that way also somehow makes the hand mixer feels less heavier to use, so yeay for both of us 😀

[@kimh1462]

Lol, I am glad you mentioned how people feel about the way you hold the mixer... it is chaotic!!!

[@kristina1818]

I put my hand through the middle of the hand mixer and hold the body of it. Works like a dream

[@itsallGudmin]

Earliest I've ever been ...was watching the BA steak Q&A vid yesterday and just got so so sad 😢... Happy Claire's thriving tho

[@XanderDDS]

claire, you're my favorite baxter!

[@rochellesonday1428]

Claire my love, can you make a copycat lofthouse sugar cookies recipe❤️

[@foodgeektv]

Tried this recipe. Tasted great. Next time I wont use corn flakes. The corn flakes seemed to get stale in about a day while the rest of the cake was still great.

[@EscarolePatrol]

Violent hand mixer vibes all winter please

[@susanheld]

Maybe your next book could be called What's For Breakfast? but it's still just dessert recipes. 😄 Pie is the best breakfast!!

[@Brooksie603]

She had me at blueberry 💙🫐

[@sixregrets]

Eyeing those rolls sitting on top of the oven.. are those using the brioche dough recipe from the first book?

[@susanbrogdon4552]

Claire, you are to me what Martha Stewart is to you! That said, I always thought it was called blueberry buckle because the butter caused little buckles down through the cake creating a rich well of melted butter. My first recipe made for buckle, you didn't cream the butter and sugar. You cut the butter into the sugar till there were dime size pieces of butter. I've never found that recipe since, but it was magical!! Have you ever read a recipe like this?? If so, could you please share it!? Ty!

[@rcdoodles6214]

Will try this with gluten free flour and gf corn chex instead of corn flakes. Looks delicious.
