Servings: 15 servings
Ingredients
- 225 g (1 ⅔ cups) plain flour
- 225 g (1 cup) butter, cold, cubed
- 125 g (1 ½ cups) rolled oats, *see notes
- 200 g (1 cup) caster sugar, *see notes
Instructions
- Weigh the cold butter and cut into medium size cubes.
- Place the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or a medium mixing bowl.
Food processor method
- Use the pulse setting to combine the butter with the dry ingredients. The mixture should resemble course breadcrumbs.
By hand
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the mixing bowl and use a fork or pastry cutter to cut the ingredients together until you have a very course mixture.
Assembling the crumble
- Once you have a course buttery crumble topping, scatter the topping generously over the fruit filling and bake at 180ºC until the crumble is golden and the fruit filling is bubbling.
- Divide between bowls and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or custard.
Notes
- Use rolled oats instead of quick cooking for better texture.
- You can use caster, granulated, or demerara sugar in this recipe for great results. Just stay away from regular brown sugar. It won't give the right texture.
