3. To make the buckle: sift flour in a bowl. In another bowl, mix 2 Tablespoons of sifted flour with blueberries and set aside.

4. Sift baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in remaining flour.

5. Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until fluffy. Add egg and beat to combine.
