Baking: Blueberry Kuchen

This is a great breakfast recipe that does not take long to make. Perfect right now when blueberry prices have been great.


Cake:
1/2 cup butter Melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 1/4 cup flour
2 cups fresh blueberries

Streusel Topping:
1 T butter
2 T sugar
2 T flour
1 pinch cinnamon
1 dash vanilla extract

Grease and flour a 9 inch springform pan. Preheat oven to 375. Cream together the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla. Add the baking powder, salt, and flour. Stir until smooth. If necessary, add a drop or two of milk to make the batter smooth. Flour your hands and pat the dough into the prepared pan. Press the dough up 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan. Place the Blueberries on top of the dough. Combine the Streusel ingredients and sprinkle on top. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 27 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.


Other fruit may be used instead of blueberries. You can also use peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots, blackberries, raspberries, or a combination of any of these. Apples and currants are also really good, use 2 peeled, sliced apples and 1/8 cup of currants.
