What could be better, on a cold blustery evening, than crumble and custard?! One of my friends turned up at my door with a big bag of rhubarb, so naturally I decided to make a crumble. It's probably the one recipe most would associate with rhubarb.
There's not a huge list of ingredients, which as you know is a winner for me! Give it a try.
The Recipe Ingredients
Filling
400g rhubarb
1 cap of vanilla extract
75g golden caster sugar
2 tsp cornflour
Crumble
135g plain flour
15g porridge oats
50g golden caster sugar
100g cold unsalted butter
Method
Pre-heat the oven Gas 6 200C. Grease an oven-proof dish with a little butter.
Chop the rhubarb into inch pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Add the vanilla extract, sugar and cornflour and mix together, then add the rhubarb mixture to the prepared dish.
Add the flour and butter to a mixing bowl and rub together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Don't worry if there are a few larger bits of butter, that's fine. Stir in the sugar and the oats and tumble over the rhubarb until it's all covered. Don't press it down though, I just spread out with a fork, lightly, so that it's even.
Place on a baking tray in the oven for 25-30 mins until golden and bubbling.
Serve with lashings of custard and enjoy! :-)
