    SR flour, block butter(not spready type or buttery spreads) and granulated sugar in 2:1:1 proportion by weight. Rubbed in by hand. I make three or four quantities at a time and freeze it in the quantity I need for one crumble.

    Made plum crumble yesterday actually, using windfall plums from a neighbours garden. (She lets me pick some too but I use damaged ones up first.) Was delicious.

  • 2:1:1 ratio for me too, chucked in the Kenwood and with some oats added at the end. I try to use block butter straight out the fridge.

    We had windfall apple and hedgerow blackberry crumble on Saturday yum yum!!

    I use the Delia crumble mixture- works every time. From memory I think it is 8oz plain flour, 5oz sugar, 3oz marg and a teaspoon of baking powder. Have a look at www.deliaonline to check

    er - I use brioche (stale if theres any left) and grate it - or any sweet bread will do. then cut up some butter (only a couple of ounces) in tiny chunks mix it all together with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg and sprinkle over the pudding, then sprinkle over some sugar (the more flavour in the sugar the better - but I never have any even though I dream of using muscovado for this the price puts me off!). bake but keep an eye on it as it burns quite quickly.
