Basic crumble topping recipe, which can be made on it's own or used for any type of fruit crumble, fruit crisp or other baked or cold puddings and desserts. Can be also made ahead and frozen.
Place the flour and sugar in a bowl and roughly rub in the butter with your fingers.
Spoon over your fruit crumble or add to a small shallow dish to bake on it's own.
Bake for about 20 minutes until golden if baking the crumble topping on it's own.
If you are using this recipe to add to your fruit crumble recipe, follow your crumble recipe (this would usually add about extra 10 minutes) and bake until the crumble is golden on the top and the fruit is bubbling at the sides.
Remove from the oven, leave to cool down a little bit and then serve with custard or ice cream or whipped cream on the top.
