Prepare the Pan:
- Pour the melted butter into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, ensuring the bottom is evenly coated. This will create a lovely buttery base for our buckle. ๐ง
-
Mix the Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good stir or whisk to ensure everything is nicely mixed.
- Gradually add the milk or half-and-half into the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. This will form the base of our buckle.
- Pour this batter into the prepared baking pan with the melted butter. Spread it out evenly to create the bottom layer. ๐ฅ
-
Prepare the Pumpkin Filling:
- In another bowl, beat together the canned pumpkin, evaporated milk, and eggs until well combined. This rich, pumpkin-y mixture is the heart of our buckle. ๐๐ฅ
- Next, add in the sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, salt, ginger, clove, and nutmeg. These aromatic spices will infuse our buckle with warm, cozy flavors. Mix everything together until fully incorporated.
-
Assemble and Bake:
- Gently pour the pumpkin mixture over the crust in the baking pan. Remember, do not stir! Let the magic happen as the layers meld together during baking. ๐
- Dot the top of the pumpkin mixture with 1-2 tablespoons of butter. This will add a lovely richness to the buckle as it bakes. ๐
- Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the top. This will create a delightful sugary crust that is irresistible! ๐ฌ
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will be filled with the most wonderful aroma of pumpkin and spices as it bakes! ๐ฐ๏ธ๐
-
Enjoy the Magic:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the pumpkin buckle from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve warm, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Each bite is a perfect balance of buttery crust, creamy pumpkin filling, and a hint of sweetness from the sugary topping. Itโs pure magic on a plate! โจ๐จ
