I have no written recipe for this crumble, since my mother taught me how to make it when I was a little girl in Scotland, and just told me to remember 2-4-6. That is- 2 oz of sugar, 4 oz of butter and 6 oz of flour. Ingredients-
2 oz and one fourth white sugar (use good quality cane sugar, like C&H or Domino
4 oz and half cup or one stick good quality butter, like Plugra or Kerrygold
6 oz 1 and one fourth cups good quality flour, like King Arthur
Approximately 12 to 16 oz or 1 and a half to 2 cups of partially cooked, steamed fruit your choice-apples, blueberry, rhubarb, peaches. with some sugar added or you can also use raw fruit.
Cut the butter into the flour with two knives until the pieces of butter are quite small. Finish off mixing the butter into the flour with the tips of your fingers,
until it resembles a crumble mixture. Stir in the sugar-that's it! Place the fruit in a baking dish and top with a generous amount of the crumble.
Bake 400 for approximately 25 minutes

or until top is golden brown. Since the cream in the US is very thin, I beat it ever so lightly to get
a double cream type consistency, so it's a little thicker when pouring it on. I bet this will be one of your all time favorite desserts,
after you make it just once!
