Freezer Ready Streusel Mix Food

MY FAVORITE STREUSEL RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and softened butter. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until crumbles form and no dry flour remains in the bowl.
• Chill for at least an hour in the refrigerator or 15 to 20 minutes in the freezer.
• When you're ready to use, drop streusel in crumbles over your batter*, gently breaking up pieces if they are too large or squeezing small sandy bits together to form larger pieces. Bake according to batter recipe instructions. If at any time the streusel begins to get too dark in the oven, you can tent it with foil to protect it from burning.

BIG BATCH CRUMBLE TOPPING FOR THE FREEZER

Steps:

• Spoon the crumble mixture into a freezer safe container (we used zip lock freezer bags), and place in the freezer until ready to use.
• Your crumble will last up to a year in the freezer. Just scoop out what you need and reseal the rest. No need to thaw the crumble before baking.
