Description
This easy Streusel Recipe is super versatile and can be used on so many recipes from pies and muffins to simply baking it alone and using it as a buttery, crisp topping (as these instructions show). OR use this recipe anytime a crumb topping is needed or desired!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, butter, and flour together until combined. The mixture will be crumbly, but will hold together and form large crumbs when squeezed.
- Form into crumbs and spread on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 – 15 minutes until lightly golden. The crumbs won’t get completely crunchy until they cool.
- Allow the topping to cool completely and then package in an airtight container, or zip-top bag until ready to use.
Notes
If using this streusel on a separate recipe, follow the instructions as listed but don’t bake it. Sprinkle the uncooked streusel topping on whatever recipe you are making and bake according to THOSE instructions.
– Store airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days.
– Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature.
