Strawberry Crumble

Cooking time: 25 mins

Serves 4

Ingredients

- 100g Flour, plain

- 50g Brown sugar

- 50g Butter, unsalted

For the Strawberries:

- 25g Butter, unsalted

- 25g Caster sugar

- 480g Strawberries (cut in half)

- 20ml Kirsch (optional)

- 5ml Lemon juice

Method

- Pre heat your oven to 170°C.

- In a large bowl, rub together the flour and butter with your fingertips until the crumble mixture forms a light breadcrumb texture. Then mix in the brown sugar.

- place evenly on a lined baking tray and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Then set aside.

For the Strawberries:

- On a medium heat, in a large deep frying pan, melt the sugar and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sugar turns to a light caramel. Add the butter to stop the cooking.

- Stir in the strawberries, lemon juice and kirsch. The caramel will go solid for a minute or two due to the liquid in the pan, But continue to cook and the caramel will mix with the juices, creating a beautiful strawberry sauce. Once you reach this stage, remove from the heat.

- Place the hot strawberries into your serving dish and spoon over the toasted crumble mix.

- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream or crème fraîche, and enjoy!
