Recipe Review

18th August 2012

Zosia from Toronto, ON

Very basic mix of flour, sugar and butter that’s difficult to review!

The proportion of ingredients results in a buttery, crunchy topping when baked as it did on this galette. It was quite delicious in that particular application as it was embellished with cinnamon and sliced almonds.

I’ve frozen the extra to use in other recipes…..I’ll edit the review if I need to after giving it a better test run.

Sept 13
I’ve had a chance to use this crumble in a few recipes now and am raising the rating.

It is rather plain but that seems to be the beauty of it….it can be whatever you want it to be, spicy or cheesy, sweet or savoury. Regardless, it adds a buttery crunch to whatever it tops.

However, it doesn’t achieve this texture unless it’s been baked for ~30 minutes so it’s not the best choice to top a muffin that bakes in 20 minutes, but is wonderful on just about everything else!
