This is a delicious recipe for lemon blueberry buckle. Blueberries are in season and very sweet. They are very nutritious and bursting with antioxidants. It is a perfect recipe for all those sweet in season blueberries. I came up with this recipe after researching several. It turned out really tasty, light and not too sweet. It went great with ice cream for dessert, or with an egg for breakfast. To make sure the blueberries do not sink, you can dust them with about a teaspoon of flour before adding them to the batter.
