A 'buckle' is a single-layer cake with
berries (usually blueberries) mixed directly into the batter
as opposed to a cobbler or crisp where the fruit is a separate
layer. The dessert gets its name from the 'buckled' or 'crumpled'
appearance on the top of the cake.

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
