Blueberry/Meyer lemon coffee cake

Post #1 - January 29th, 2012, 11:14 amIt was time to pull out from the freezer some of the blueberries I picked out in Indiana last summer. Found some nice Meyer lemons at WF. The recipe called for a lemon glaze, but I topped it with just some streusel instead and it was JUST FINE and it sure is nice to have a taste of sweet, warm blueberries in January...

That was EXACTLY what I was going to say! I am off gluten for now and I should have known better than to read this thread!

Post #4 - January 29th, 2012, 2:56 pmWhenever you'd care to sell one of these, use the pm feature. I have my own stash of wild bluberries that I would be willing to part with if your supply isn't ample enough. You're killing me (too) but I won't go down without a fight. Tho I have a feeling that if you WERE to sell me one of these, my better half would be requesting one on a weekly basis.We cannot be friends if you do not know the difference between Mayo and Miracle Whip.

Post #5 - January 29th, 2012, 5:26 pmY'all are so nice. Baking on the weekends (in winter, especially) keeps me from getting cabin fever. Thank goodness I have great neighbors and co-workers to help out, so I'm not eating ALL this stuff myself!

You're an amazing baker, and I love to see your creations!
What recipe did you use for this beautiful coffee cake? How did it taste?

Post #7 - January 29th, 2012, 5:59 pmIt tastes GREAT, though some of that may just have to do with the blueberries themselves. These were some of the sweetest ones I'd ever tasted--I wish I could remember what KIND they were, but sadly, I don't.
Recipe is a Betty Crocker one and can be found online here: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/blu ... a338a6f23b
It calls for Bisquick, but decades ago, my mom taught me how to make my own because, well, "why would you PAY for that????" I usually just have a batch in the freezer and thaw it as needed. I used Meyer lemons instead of regular ones (since they looked and smelled SO good at the store) and I skipped the glaze and just made a simple shortbread dough to crumble on top. The recipe says to mix the berries in, but I just left them on top, because I thought it would look prettier.

Thanks! Your mother sounds just like my Polish mother and grandmother!
