Description
Make this beautiful crunchy crumb topping to top your favorite cakes, muffins, quick breads, fruit crisps and more.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (260 grams) all purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) firmly packed brown sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 stick of butter (113.5 g), melted and cooled
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small pan. Set aside to cool briefly.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon until well-mixed.
- Pour in the melted butter, then use a fork to toss the ingredients together. Stir everything together until the crumbs start to form.
- Cover the bowl, and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes or freeze for 20 minutes.
- Use your fork to scrape around the bottom of the bowl to create big crumbs. If the mix feels too soft, pop it back into the fridge. If it’s too hard to scrape the bottom of the bowl, the crumbs probably got a little too cold. Let them warm up for a few minutes on the counter before you try again. Break up big crumbles into pieces about pea-sized or slightly larger.
- Top your favorite baked good with your finished chilled streusel before baking, and bake as usual for a layer of irresistable crunchy goodness.
Notes
Freeze extra streusel up to 3 months for topping on muffins, breads, and other baked goods.
