Blueberry Buckle

Many years ago, when I was still in school, my best girlfriend made this. I loved it, but I don't think I've ever made it. Kroger had blueberries on sale, so Matt stocked up, and here we are!

Thank you, Red.

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 egg
1 t vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups flour
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
2 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, softened

Preheat oven to 375°. Spray an 8" square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together 3/4 cup sugar and butter til fluffy. Stir in egg and vanilla. Set aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into sugar mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Fold in blueberries. Pour into prepared pan.

To make topping, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, cinnamon and butter til butter is well incorporated. Sprinkle over cake batter.

Bake 50-60 minutes, or til a pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or room temperature.

~Big Al's~ Subs

 I was inspired by this article from my sister Rob, who explains who Big Al is and what he has meant to legions of hungry people in a small town: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977272353&nav=Namespace What makes Big Al's subs better than any others that I have tried are the buns. He uses the same dough recipe as he does for the pizza. This is what I have tried to recreate here. I also made the sub sauce, which is near world famous. I don't think anyone who orders a sub from Big Al's does not also get a side of the sauce. (Well, other than me, but Matt likes it, so of course I had to make it). This is my version of the Big Al's Special complete with sub sauce. Homemade Sub Buns (recipe follows) Capicola Genoa Salami Provolone Cheese Lettuce, tomato and onion Pepperoncini (optional. They aren't authentic to an Al's) Al's Sub Sauce (recipe follows) Homemade Sub Buns I use this pizza dough recipe, which I really like:...
