Crumble in any guise is a lovely comfort food. Blackberry crumble is perfect at this time of
year, and my absolute favourite.
The simple rule of thumb with crumble recipes is that you
need half the quantity of butter to flour, and the same amount of sugar as
butter.
For a small crumble for two of us I used :
Approximately 8 to 12oz of blackberries
6oz plain flour
3oz butter
3oz caster sugar
Simply clean the blackberries (I always soak them in salted
water for a few hours to get rid of any ‘visitors’!) and arrange in a buttered
dish adding sugar to taste.
In a food processor (or mixer, or by hand) mix the flour, sugar and butter together to achieve a breadcrumb texture. Sprinkle the crumble topping over and cook at 200oC / 400oF / gas 6 for approximately 30 minutes or so.

Best served with custard, although ice cream is nice too!
