Blueberry Coffee Cake

At church on Sundays, there is usually a very popular platter of Shipley donut holes. Once, I made biscuits with cheddar and bacon as a carb plus protein alternative. I learned the congregants really want the sweets with their coffee. Although they barely touched the biscuits, the 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 1/4 cups butter in this simple but delicious crumb cake had them scraping the baking pan.

Crumble Topping

1 c. flour

1 stick of butter, diced

To make crumble topping, sift the sugar and flour together in a large bowl. Place the butter in the sugar and flour mixture. Crumble with your fingers so the butter turns into little pea sized bits.
