A buckle is a fruit-studded cake with a buttery crumb topping; it’s a great breakfast treat, an excellent midday sweet alongside tea or coffee, or a casual, not-too-heavy after-dinner dessert.
In this recipe from our cookbook “ Milk Street Bakes,” we give our version holiday appeal with pops of sweet-tart cranberries, finely chopped crystalized ginger and ground cinnamon.
