Berry crumble
Crumble is a British fruit dessert originating in the 1940s. It is most commonly filled with rhubarb, however sometimes may be filled with diced apple, berries, or other fruit, and is topped with streusel, hence the name. It is traditionally served with custard, although may also or instead be served with whipped cream or ice cream.

Ingredients

 * 600 grams berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.), halved or quartered
 * 120 grams granulated sugar
 * 110 grams butter, refrigerated and cut into cubes
 * 220 grams plain flour
 * 110 grams demerara or other brown sugar

Method

 * 1) Preheat oven to 180C/350F, or 160C/320F using a gas oven.
 * 2) Mix berries with granulated sugar until the sugar and juices form a syrup at the bottom of the bowl or dish. The berries should be coated in the sugar at this point. Set aside.
 * 3) Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until it forms a breadcrumb texture. Add the demerara sugar and continue until combined.
 * 4) Place the berries into a dish and completely cover with topping. Put the dish into the oven and bake.
 * 5) Wait until the fruit can be seen bubbling (boiling) and the crumbly topping has turned golden-brown to remove. Cool for five to ten minutes and serve with custard and unsweetened cream or ice cream.
