Streusel
Here’s how to make streusel with a few simple ingredients, plus easy tips and ways to use it!
Servings: 12 muffins (enough streusel to top 12 muffins)
Cost: $3.98
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted & cooled
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar tightly packed (Note 1)
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- BUTTER: Melt the butter in the microwave and set it aside to cool a bit. (Do not use hot butter-- it will melt the sugar and result in a greasy streusel.)
- COMBINE: In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Use a spatula to scrape every bit of cooled melted butter into the bowl.
- MIX: Stir until ingredients are well combined.
- KNEAD: If needed, use your fingers to knead the mixture together until it forms coarse crumbs. The streusel is now ready to be used as a topping for pies, cakes, muffins, or any other baked goods. (Sprinkle the streusel on top of the batters/pies/crisps before baking).
Notes
Note 1: Brown sugar: Use fresh, soft brown sugar to ensure that the streusel doesn't end up dry with chunks of hardened sugar!
