Homemade blueberry crumble with gluten free topping, served with warm custard
I have been so busy working on recipes and tutoirlas i almost forgot to upload this!
I lvoe a good apple crumble, it is probably one of my favourite hot desserts and i will only eat it with warm custard of yogurt. At the weekend i got a punnet of lovely fresh blueberries. I was going to make blueberry cupcakes but am all cake, cupcake and muffin baked out at the moment so decided to try a new flavour crumble for a change. I am very glad i did, it was yummy, i had to add some slices of apple as i didn;t have enough blueberries as the kids have been snacking on them.
I was going to clean up the ramekins a bit beofre photography but the colour from the blueberries straight out of the oven was so lovely bubbling up of the crumble sides i just had to keep it!
RECIPE SERVES 4 Ingredients 1 punnet of blueberries (you can add other berries and sliced apples if you like) 1 cup of plain/all purpose or gluten free flour 1/2 cup castor or granulated sugar 80g soft butter 4 tbsp of brown sugar If you have any, add some oats and cinnamon to the crumble mix if you want.
Pre-heat oven to 180oC divide berries into ramekins, sprinkle with some of the castor/granulated sugar in a food processor blitz together the butter, flour and castor sugar sprinkle topping on berries sprinkle brown sugar on crumble mix bake for 15 minutes or until slightly browned and bubbling. serve with ice cream, custard, cream or yogurt.
I'm curious what kind of oven you use. I'm trying to learn to cook more than just default things like fried rice or spag bol, and would love to try out some of your recipes (which look freaking to DIE for), but I only have access gas cooking.
i have an electric oven, never used a gas oven before and to be honest they scare me, i know they heat up quicker than electric as my grandma has one so you need to keep a closer eye on things and cheap for hot spots in the oven, i even have hot spots in my fan assisted oven so i have to turn cakes and cupcakes half way through cooking to make sure they cook evenly.
Yeah. I tried baking cakes in it twice before. The first one came out like a thin concrete slab and the other turned out black on the outside and a sloppy mess on the inside. (Obviously I'm a terrible cook!) That said, my aunt has a fan forced oven and the thing terrifies me. My mum is the master of my oven though, so I'll ask her when I eventually get around to attempt #1 (Though she's 1000000% against me making fudge :c). Thanks for the help. ^_^
why don;t you make something that doesn't involve the oven to show her you can make yummy things that way she may be more willing to let you use to oven more
