Faq

  • Why does my mixture look lumpy?

    Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. Cold ingredients can lead to lumps in the batter.

  • How can I prevent the crumble from burning?

    Baking at too high a temperature can cause burning. Stick to 160°C and keep a close eye on it in the final minutes.

  • Can I add spices to the crumble?

    Absolutely! Cinnamon or nutmeg can add a warm depth to your crumble. Experiment with small amounts to start with.

  • My crumble isn’t as crispy as I expected. What went wrong?

    Make sure the mixture is spread thinly and evenly. A thicker layer will not crispen properly. Also, ensure your oven’s convection mode is on for even heat distribution.

  • How can I make the crumble more buttery?

    Consider using a higher-fat butter or adding a dash more. However, be cautious as too much butter can make it greasy.

  • Is it possible to double the recipe?

    Yes, doubling the recipe is fine, but when spreading the mixture, ensure you maintain the thin layer for optimal crispiness. You might need to bake in batches.
