Here in Britain, we all love a good crumble. Let me show you how to make a super easy and delicious Blackberry and Pear crumble.
Ingredients
Crumble topping
- 225g plain flour
- 80g caster sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
- 6 ground pecan nuts
- 50g desiccated coconuts
- 115g unsalted butter
- 50g porridge oats
Crumble filling
- 225g plain flour
- 80g caster sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
- 6 ground pecan nuts
- 50g desiccated coconuts
- 115g unsalted butter
- 50g porridge oats
- 250g blackberries, chopped in half
- 6 pears, peeled and cut into chunks
- 50g sugar
- 150ml boiling water
- A few drizzles of honey, depending how sweet you want the filling to be
Method
- STEP 1Preheat the oven to 190 degrees and have six ramekins at the ready. Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, then add the salt and powdered ginger. Slowly pour in the sugar.
- STEP 2Chop the butter into small pieces, and add to the flour mixture. Using your hands, mix the crumble well, so that it turns into something like breadcrumbs.
- STEP 3Add the ground pecans, oats, and coconut, and mix well. Set aside.
- STEP 4Put the filling products into a pan for a couple of minutes, or until the liquid is red from the berries and all the sugar is dissolved.
- STEP 5Put two spoonfuls of the fruit (with the liquid) into the ramekins, then heap two large spoonfuls of crumble. Cook in a preheated oven of 190 degrees for 20 minutes.
- STEP 6Serve with custard, cream or ice cream. Enjoy!
