Crumble update

I tried the crumble suggestions and what made the difference was working the butter into the flour more and also using a higher proportion of butter and a little less sugar. So the mix becomes much coarser.

I used 8 oz. flour, 6 oz. butter, 3 oz. golden caster sugar.

I just read somewhere that the mix is used straight out of the freezer in one recipe, so I will try that next.

The oats addition I will try on the next one! It sounds good.

Here is the American conversion chart I have: American Cup Conversion Approximate

1 cup = 8 fl oz = 225 ml (this can usually be rounded to 250 ml)

American Imperial Metric 1 cup flour 5 oz. 150 gr. 1 cup caster and granulated sugar 8 oz 225 gr. Caster and granulated sugar, (2 level tablespoons) 1 oz. 30 gr.
