Cooking Without Photos – Blueberry Buckle

This week we make our way up north to Concord, New Hampshire. Clearly this cookbook came from a flea market down here in the south because I’ve never once been to New Hampshire.

Concord, NH was first named Rumford and was incorporated in 1734. In 1765 it was renamed Concord by then governor Benning Wentworth. In 1808 Concord was named the official county seat.

Throughout history Concord has been the home of several notable people. Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Louisa May Alcott are among those folks that called Concord home.

Concord is also well known for Concord Coaches. The carriage company was known worldwide in the 19th century. Today the Concord Coach Square Dance Club is keeping that name alive and preserving history at the same time. This cookbook was written in 1977, but the square dancing group is still active and you can find them on Facebook.

When I opened the cookbook, “Concord Coach Cook Book: Favorite Recipes From Our Square Dancing Friends” I wasn’t sure what to expect. Then I saw it. Blueberry Buckle. Yes. Yes indeed.

Let’s get into it.

  1. Use a 9×13 pan. I almost used an 8×8. That would have been a disaster.
  2. When you get the batter mixed up, it’s going to feel more like cookie dough.
  3. Keep going. Don’t add any milk or anything extra.
  4. Doesn’t say anything about adding ice cream or whipped cream. I can’t see how you could go wrong with either.
  5. This would also be great for brunch. Reminded me of coffee cake.

Enjoy!!!

Y’all share with your friends❤️
