your ultimate crumble recipe please

[Donbean]

Its the actual crumble bit that i want. can never get it right, how do you do yours please?

I will try and remember to post my mum's recipe tonight, can't remember off hand but I know it includes flour, brown sugar and dessicated coconut

I use 2/3 digestive biscuits 1/3 ginger biscuits and really good quality butter.
It's lovely!

I have had it made from crushed amaretti biscuits and it is lovely

whoops, I must learn to think before typing, I was thinking about cheesecake base. Lol.

OH MY GOD that sounds GORGEOUS AValou and so simple!
Do i just crush them all up and mix in the butter?

6oz pl flour
2oz porridge oats
3oz butter
30z soft brown sugar
dh loves it with the oats in but then crumble and custard is his fav pud

OH BUMS......

thanks junk thant brill, will try it out tonight x

I guess it could work as crumble
Interesting, I may try
I actually love to have that on top of greek yoghurt and autumn fruits, a really easy and delicious dessert.

should i add some amaretti biscuits to the mix as well CD???

i would add dessicated coconut

3 handfuls oats, 2 handfuls flour, 1 and a bit/2 handfuls of brown sugar, large knob of butter, cinnamon (or mixed spice or whatever else is in the cupboard). Rub butter into flour, add everything else. If feeling really lazy melt butter and stir into other ingredients .

Note: as this contains oats and fruit it makes a great breakfast and prob has less sugar than many cearels. Well tahts my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Please find that recipe CD sounds scrummy

now that is my way of doing things..handfulls and Not measurements!!
Thanks alli

that makes quite a bit of crumble btw. Enough for 6 I reckon (normal people that is not crumbleaholics like me )

I think handfuls should be brought back in as a measurement Much easier than getting out the scales.

I add oats to mine.... yummy! Sometimes I add currants, but DS1 doesn't like them. Sigh..............

I do the butter, flour, oats, brown sugar combo, but don't have an idea of quanties. I just chuck some flour in the food processor (I guess a cup full) add a big spoonfull butter or marg, whizz for a minute, add some oats and some brown sugar!! Takes about 2 mins

If you whizz too much it goes too fine and becomes a crust not a crumble, hence teh oats. I also add chopped mixed nuts sometimes too

A pinch of nutmeg and grated or powdered ginger is good in crumble too.

I couldn't use a food processor for this kind of thing , I find the whole process very therapeutic, rubbing it all in and seeing it transform.
until the phone rings/baby cries and I'm covered in crap, LOL

Bread dough is the worst for that as it's not easy to wash off quickly!
