Crumble topping - crunchy baking essential
Crumble topping (also called streusel) is a mixture of flour, sugar, and butter rubbed into small lumps. It is used as a crunchy topping on pies, cakes, and fruit desserts. The standard ratio is 2 parts flour, 1 part sugar, and 1 part butter. For extra crunch, oats or chopped nuts can be added.
- The British crumble was created during World War II due to ingredient rationing.
- The ideal crumble ratio is 2:1:1 (flour, sugar, butter).
- For extra crunch, add oats or chopped nuts.
- Butter for crumble must be cold to form proper lumps.
