I do. 4oz plain flour 3oz butter or a good quality margarine 1 - 2oz granulated sugar. I like to use Demerara for the extra 'crunch'. You may need to make double quantity depending on th e size of the crumble. Crumble flour and butter together gently then stir in the sugar. Cooking slowly is the key and I bake mine 160c fan oven for 45 to 60 mins depending on the size of the crumble and filling used. I make up a large amount of crumble and freeze it. Then simply spoon the amount you need over your fruit and bake as normal. Hope it turns out well.

lincslady Posted September 8 #61704 Share Posted September 8 Sounds like a great recipe, Avril - I do think one secret for a good crumble is a highish proportion of fat to flour, as you give here, i.e. more than 50%. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I switch I would like to know what the additional medical cover costs would be, not found out how you can do that before switching. There is a telephone number on the Nationwide web site, I phoned to enquire about additional costs before opening the flexplus account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use off the shelf crumble mix and crush half a dozen biscoff biscuits into it. Tastes great and gives the crumble mix substance, I will also crush pecans in if we have some. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted September 8 #61712 Share Posted September 8 We picked up some apples from a “help yourself” box outside a house on our walk this morning. Blackberries in the freezer from a previous walk. Crumble incoming! Archetypical English/British cuisine. 😋 It’ll be tomorrow - we have strawberries that need eating today 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showingdiva Posted September 8 #61714 Share Posted September 8 Been foggy here in Edinburgh for days. Caribbean Princess took one look at the weather and left - tendering at South Queensferry has its risks with the oil terminal and the bridges (ships have to take a tug hanging on to the back of them for the duration). Viking Neptune anchored in the river for a while, but is now tendering from Newhaven. Soup made and Burghley horse trials on the TV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted September 8 #61717 Share Posted September 8 I like to get maximum use out of the rhubarb that I have out if my niece's garden. It has deep red skin so I am keeping my stack soaking with ginger in gin for 2 weeks before straining the liquid into sterilised bottles. I will then use the rhubarb to make a crumble. The gin becomes a lovely red colour and tastes lovely with a nice tonic and the crumble is delicious with custard. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshirephil Posted September 8 #61720 Share Posted September 8 Damp and miserable here, temps not too shabby though, we have 12/13oC forecast for next week so it will feel like autumn. We had a tootle to junction 32 this morning for a Costa coffee, I need to use the petrol before I trade the car in. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted September 8 #61721 Share Posted September 8 It remained a dry but dull day down here, but mild as it's still 16c I ended up making crumble for pudding too, using some apples to go with the raspberrys, served with custard. There's still some crumble left for tomorrow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiana123 Posted September 9 #61722 Share Posted September 9 (edited) Crumble here too, blueberries, black cherries and a few mixed berries. Nothing measured out, just guessed, with a small handful of oats for good measure.. It turned out fine. I sometimes use off the shelf ones and they are fine too.

Josy1953 Posted September 9 #61724 Share Posted September 9 Another grey day with light rain this morning. Road works are scheduled to start today for 3 days between our house and my niece's house so a diversion to pick up my niece for school and then the alternative route,which always has traffic queues, to get to the school so an interesting week while the road works are in place. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
