Last week when I, on a whim, blogged my Go To Muffin recipe I was a little taken aback with just how many people emailed me or left me messages on Facebook to say that they had tried the recipe for their breakfast or made them for their kids’ lunchboxes and loved the simplicity of the recipe.
And so to follow on from that, this is then my Go To Crumble recipe…& though I’ve tried and have lots of different crumble variations about my person….you can do just about anything to this one and it will not let you down.
In recipes for baking things, for me, there has to be a few core elements…first of all with three children and a busy life I positively blanch at any ingredient that looks like I might have to trek to some ‘speciality’ store for. I mean the name alone turns me cold. For me, enjoying being in the kitchen pottering around has to mean simple and easy and do-able while supervising homework, painting something white or fulfilling my relentless taxi-driving duties.
And so, the humble crumble is one of those that fits into that scenario very nicely. Sad old fruit needs using up? Crumble. People coming over & need a make it and leave it dessert? Crumble. Mother Hubbard cupboards and a family who think they are hard done-by without dessert? Crumble.
There is another reason I like crumble and of course this is another string to the bow of its beauty…it is that for a non-baker, it is not really baking….mixing up a few things in a bowl with your fingers and shoving that on top of some chopped up fruit, is not, unless you really are more baking challenged than I, a difficult thing.
And of course, as with the Go To Muffins, and my favourite part of this recipe is that you can parade this little baby to your hearts content…you can dress it up in a posh little pie dish and a fancy server when you have guests or you can go home-cooked kitchen style with a vintage Pyrex.
Either way, you and only you will know about the throwing around of a few hastily gathered ingredients. They however will think you are somewhat of a kitchen magician. And that has been the ethos of my recipe-gathering over the years.
You will smile surreptitiously to yourself and keep the secret just for you, filing it in the back of your mind under Domestic Deceit and stashing it quite nicely next to the throwing-of-bleach-down-toilets.
I love everything really about crumble topping…the sugar….the butter…the oats….but here I love how the strawberries give this a little taste of summer, even if, your strawberries have jet lag and where you are, it is minus 10 and all is looking dreary…not that I have to put up with that anymore…but I know…
1 1/2 x cup strawberries hulled & roughly chopped (or just one punnet)
2 x large pears, peeled, cored & roughly chopped
for the topping
1 cup flour
1/2 cup oats (any kind)
1/3 cup cold butter, roughly diced
1/2 cup sugar (I use brown or whatever I have)
sprinkling of brown sugar
1. mix strawberries & pears in bottom of pie dish
2. in a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats & sugar, mix to combine
3. add diced butter and rub in with your fingers until your mixture resembles breadcrumbs
4. place crumble mix on fruit
5. I like to sprinkle the top with brown sugar if you have some handy
6. bake 200C 30 mins
*note: you can easily up the fruit content here…depends how ‘crumbly’ you like the crumble * for a lighter crumble chuck in a teaspoon of baking powder…I prefer it dense, like me haha
* I will more often than not double this up for a large crumble for leftovers the next day…or leave alone day, just for my children’s next graze really
while i dont eat strawberries, i am thinking of other fruits that this will work with and about to write it in my journal to make when DH is home in a few weeks. Looking forward to trying this.
I have made several batches now of the muffins and they are a hit. yesterday i added apricot jam as i had run out of other fruits and i must say they where just amazing, such an easy thing to whip up for sunday breakfast, with lots left over for the rest of the week.
any old thing will work, I have tried it all including tinned fruit…recipe for that soon…
soooo glad you liked the muffins and yep too easy to whip up…wondering if you could pass on how much apricot jam you added???? this would make this recipe very store cupboard which would be great for me xo
i think it was around 1/2 a jar
they are so nice.. i actually had them for breakfast and lunch yesterday and then for lunch today. DD took one to school and DH took some away with him. and there are still a few left. i just chucked the whole lot in the kitchenaid gave it a quick whisk and 20 mins later they where done.
is it bad that i am dreaming what they would be like with red and green glace cherries in for christmas
You are so right! I use apples because I always have some around…fruit crumble is one of the easiest sure to please deserts isn’t it?
Anyway…love the color combinations in your pics … turquiose and red, gotta love it!
cheers,
Siggie
assuming i am in the minus camp {weather wise!- today i sent the big gal off to H.S in 2 degrees!}…i can’t thank you enough for a little baking with colour inspiration!!
i have *cranked the heating* up…so it sorta feels like summer heading into christmas at home…left my beanie on and am going to make happy colourful crumble!!
have you seen the Donna Hay christmas inspiration this year…lordy lord…too lovely!!
this may sound weird, tho I have kinda got used to being weird now
but **** me I miss ‘cranking the heating up’ so much…can you even imagine how much I miss doing that…????
yeah I know I have sun and sand and beach and lovely lovely lovely
…but sometimes one just misses those old familiars…freezing cold, grey, dreary, damp, wet & dark….& inside setting it to somewhere near thirty…parading around in clothes not appropriate and looking out at a winter garden with a cup of tea….just sighing
you know what is the lovliest thing about our little friendship across this bloggy world…that we sure as hell get each others lives…
do you know of a place where you can have a few serious seasons of both…?!?!?
then we could just have that fix of one or the other when ever we needed it…i say as i’m slurping coffee in my silver birkies {now the heating is at boiling point-even the cats gone outside! & i’m back in my un-winter footwear!}
i’ll be thinking of you when i flick on the fairy lights at the front door at 4:30 !!!!!!!!!
so funny that the cat went outside…when Mr BC used to come home from work in the depths of a dark english winter it would be so hot that he would change out of his suit, shower and wear nothing but boardies…that seems so funny to me now
I often wish I could be podded between here and there (well more here really but there sometimes) just to get a fix of the things I miss…..
yep I think that was from the infamous Vinnies…it was much more blue when I bought it, and pristine, but now it’s been through the dishwasher so many times it’s faded…love it now x
Pretty pictures! I’ve make an apple crisp every year for Thanksgiving and top with homemade ice cream. I pop it in the oven while we eat dinner and 20 minutes later, the dinner is done, the apple crisp is ready and the house smells amazing. Crisps or crumbles as you call them are a breeze to do and have been around for years. I think that’s because we all want something that is delicious and easy to do!!!!
Oh for the roly-poly me muvva used to make
Roly-poly treacle duff
Roly-poly that’s the stuff!
Even to think about it
Makes my belly ache~
Oh lumme I want my mummy
The puddings she used to make!
Cheers Ms.Sarah~Gotta love old vintage pryex for sure! Looks delicious and easy, I am off to copy your muffin recipe too.I love easy delicious recipes as well.I have one for chicken and dumplings I just love, or you can use any kind of meat or stew.Thanks for sharing~Chow Kim
I couldnt get the link to the recipe to work…can you help please? It looks yummy and my husband loves Crumbles and sadly he has to make do with shop bought ones
Sarah – the ultimate is to put your crumble topping on your blueberry muffins. Fill the muffin mix 3/4 to the top and top with crumble mix – the combination is magic )
Wow!! My son – 8, made this last night after I read your post and it was delish….never thought to add berries to a crumble. We substituted the oats for some homemade granola….courteousy of the BC recipe files.
We had your muffins on the weekend and they too went down a treat.
Keep the simple recipes flowing….they are right up my alley….love them
oh wow!..a crumble can l eat it for breakfast? hehe cant wait to try this one..thanks for sharing
My 26yr old son made the muffins yesterday afternoon..he turned up and walk straight into the kitchen to see if l’d made any more muffins hehe none to be found so under instruction he made his own banana his favourite…..they were fabulous as always
So big grin later and the recipe tucked into his Blackberry off he went to impress his mates with your recipe… THANKS Sarah the word is spreading
Hugs Suz x
Crumble is one of my fav desserts, so easy! I don’t eat wheat, so my topping is a little different and I use whatever fruit I have on hand- pear and strawberry sounds wonderful, must try it soon, might even have to do the food shopping (been putting it off since Sat). Looking forward to seeing what treasure Mr BC brings home today from the Sallies (Salvos)
This looks great! I really love strawberries. I think it is yummier if I add some chocolate chips or chocolate syrup. For me chocolate and strawberry is such a great combination. I will surely try this.
G'day! I'm Sarah, I live in a tatty old cottage, near the sea in Australia with a battered old deck & a big old fig tree out the back...stripped wooden floors, old sash windows & a jumble of vintage furniture. [Read More …]
Beach Cottage ladies, we have some vintage linen and some wood/twig washed up on the beach today here in Beach Cottage Land….don’t say I don’t keep you entertained now will you . Come on in. So, yep I have posted about colanders on this blog, about things sourced from the side of the road, about [...]
G'day ladies, let's have a Too Easy Beach Cottage recipe yeah? The original place for Too Easy Recipes on the web ;-)
So, after my last salad went down a storm in my inbox, that's here if you missed it, I had to do this one seeing as I make it most weeks.
There is a problem with this salad and kiddos though...it looks, well, it looks, kinda yucky...but once they try it, they'll ask if and when they are next having it....at least that's what happens in this ratty old cottage...but I must interject here that my kiddos are 'good eaters'? ...they didn't get a choice in that ;-)
Now, stop, don't start running and hitting that next on your blog reading list, pulses are your best friend in the Too Easy Dump & Go kitchen for the busy mum, or busy anyone for that matter...that reminds me I must blog the garlic canneloni Go To for when you forgot to do dinner, feel like a bath but have three ravenous young Beach Cottage Kiddos on your hands...another day.
I am almost embarrassed to tell you how easy this is, we have it so much that I always have a couple, make that six, cans of lentils around and a jar of goat's cheese in the fridge...the great thing about this is that it's all too easy to get ready in just a few minutes, but it looks, tastes and seems like you did oh so very much more than that.
You can obviously too change it up a bit depending on what you have to hand in your kitchen, and I must say that is how I settled on this version...because one day when I made it I didn't have enough Parsley in the garden and so I chucked in some basil too, and liked the Summer feel it added.
I think of this as being a rather posh salad, not sure why, because it couldn't really be further from the truth...the great thing is that it works so well for an average run of the mill day, (when I did this for this blog post, it was a hot Sydney Sunday and I did it just simply to go with Rosemary & Garlic stuffed pork, you can see that pork here),
...but just as easily it works on a regular old Wednesday night when you have lost all enthusiasm for rustling up yet another meal, or indeed on Saturday night, when your friends are on their way over for dinner and you my friend, are in your new vintage inspired clawfoot bathtub (that's me in a few weeks time, k?) without any clothes on, a tipple and no idea what to cook for dinner...
I have a complicated and ever-changing relationship with goat's cheese...it never fails me in its performance and it never fails to impress me (you can find out a bit more on what I like in food here if you like) and I kinda collect it...because it's very easy to collect and has a fairly long fridge-life, I love trying out different ones and there's not many things I love more than goat's cheese on sourdough...but I think the best thing about it is not thinking about it exclusively in the toast/salad department...I've stuffed it in chicken and all sorts of things as a last minute and it's been fab.
But let's get down to the nitty gritty of this super salad that makes you look like an angel who has been on her knees all day scrubbing the front step when really you are in the digital world and spent most of ...
G'day Beach Cottage ladies, howdy, howdy howdy today for a Beach Cottage Too Easy recipe.
If you like cake, cream, sugar and chocolate, make this.
This is, rather than a recipe, a putting it together...as you know I am no dessert maker, but, I do make quite a few sweet things, because, somehow I have ended up with kiddos, who in their roles as offspring, believe that part of the deal, is that not only do I feed them a home-cooked meal with a few homegrown ingredients in there, yes, they also believe that dessert and not the kind that comes out of a packet is included too in this All-Inclusive Deal they call Parenthood.
So, this, for sure, is no culinary masterpiece, but if you are looking for something that is so very easy, dump-able, uses everyday ingredients and at the same time makes you look like you spent hours pulling things together plus tastes good....well, then this is for you.
Best though, you don't make this for yourself, if you have spent the most part of your week sitting on your derriere reading blogs...this my friend ain't low in the calories department...if, however, you are treating yourself to a delight in a mason jar, this is so for you.
I first had a version of this when at dinner back in Old Blighty with a girl, I once, in another life, caught the train up from our village to London with...she was a funny thing really...I am not quite sure how we got on...she was kinda prissy and a bit bothered by too much...I would run to the train flustered, having got up late, and she would have a spreadsheet on the train times, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, a few years later when we both had bambinos, I bumped into her again and we met up for playdates and dinner sometimes....this particular night, after a lovely meal she served up little bowls of creamy, cakey fruity stuff topped off with chocolate flake...it was delicious!
She didn't serve hers in little jars like this, hers were in a champagne glass and not quite so layered as these ones, plus she used tinned fruit not fresh or frozen.
Years later when said offspring kept requesting dessert, one day I wangled together somehow these from what was around in the fridge and they've been with us ever since.
Most likely, if you ever come here for dinner, and shock horror, you dont' bring the dessert with you, this, if you are lucky, will be what you will get.
Throw it all together, sprinkle a lil bit of chocolate on the top and the blog reading past-time you so rudely left in order to make this, is my friend, your oyster.
Beach Cottage Too Easy Layered Raspberry, Cream & Sponge Dessert
1 small maderia or butter cake or a pack of cupcakes (or of course make your own)
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
8 tbsp fruit
1 x chocolate Flake or chocolate bar for grating
1. beat the cream cheese until it is soft
2. whip the cream until soft peaks form
3. combine & add the sugar through
4. cut your cake into portions
& layer into the bottom of your jar
5. add a tablespoon of fruit
6. layer on top the cream combo
7. repeat
8. grate chocolate or Flake on top
*Beach Cottage Recipe Notes : this is just a guide really, you can use any cream that you have on hand...I have made this with clotted cream (don't even go there unless you want to seriously get these babies on your thighs), with double cream and I have even, in desperate times squirted in that, ...
G'day Beach Cottage ladies, well I thought it was time for some blogging tips here today, alongside a few nice flowers and shells ;-)
I was recently part of a blogger discussion group over at Kidspot and a couple of hours later had a few questions from girls who couldn't make it to the live chat, one was on my Facebook page and one via email, the Facebook one I will deal with in another Real Girl Blogging Tips post...the email one asked me what essentials do I think every blog needs?
Well I have been around here for a while now doing the blogging thing, so I should know this, yeah and I mused this on my walk by the sea this morning I thought well what do you only need?
...I think it is really very easy when blogging, whether or not you are blogging up there in the lofty heights of the Super Bloggers or you are just dipping your toe in the water, to get side-tracked by 101 million different things that are 'essential' to your blog and if you are someone like me who actually gets a thrill from reading blogging tips then you are in an even worse place because you will find yourself literally buzzing with these essential things to add/do/implement on your blog.
However, walking along, gulping down that brisk sea air today (no sunshine & clouds) I thought you actually don't need any of that professional blogging stuff to be successful...but there are a few things that are pretty much crucial ...and once I started to think about it I got it down to about 5 - these are the only things that you need to concentrate on...once you have read through take a look at some of the big girl's blogs...you'll see that actually they don't have bundles of stuff on their blogs...but they do have all of these...
So here are my top things that your blog must have
1. About Page
There are all sorts of About Pages out there, and if you search on it there are many different tips and ideas for what to have on yours
Whatever blogging platform you use, adding an About Me Page is easy, quick and simple and will do everything to grow your blog.
I like a long-ish About Page, I am inherently nosy and I like to know a bit more about the person but at the least you should have on it your name and where you are located. I also think a photo is good too...over the last year or so I think this has become more important in blogging - if you are hesitant about that as I was, you can try using sunglasses or a behind shot until you get comfortable.
There is nothing worse than stumbling upon a new blog and going to find out more to only be faced with a piddly little one liner About Me Page...well there is something worse, not having one at all!
2. Contact Page
The chances are someone, somewhere will want to contact you and you will be surprised what lands in your inbox once you put yourself out there on the world wide web with a blog.
Many bloggers also use this page to include details for PR's/brands that may want to contact them and some bloggers put their stats on there too.
A short, to the point and simple Contact Page works really well...whenever I have wanted to contact another blogger I am often very busy and have limited time so I don't want to hang around sifting through information looking for an email address, so concise and clear ...
G'day lovely Beach Cottage lovelies.
So, yeah, so on a roll people, so on a roll.
I feel kinda home accessory wired right now.
I am always telling people, if anyone ever listens, that blogging is all about passion, not that sort of passion, but about passion that makes one tick.
Things like this make me tick tick boom.
I love finding things that suit my budget and let me treat my home but look amazing too.
So without further adieu I introduce you, ladies of the beach, to the blue vintage glasses that I have been stroking for about a week or two now...
These glasses are from a little boutique I sometimes happen upon, this boutique sells also pet accessories, carpet cleaner, bras and compost...it's quite unique though.
And, thanks to my friend Marnie (she blogs over here, go take a look at her praying position, interesting), who just so happens to be one day having me over for a lil' Greek dinner, has let me in on the fact that we call Kmart....The KMart...with an accent ....as in 'I love The KMart'...just like her MIL does. Oh yeah. Love that.
So I have had my eye on reproduction vintage glass blue wine glasses and being trying to find real true vintage blue glasses for like ever.
Oh yes I have spied them in Frenchy boutiques, I have lusted after them in stores that I shouldn't even enter and I have put them back pretty quickly in those shops with the hand-written price tags. C'mon, you know the ones.
And, though all of the above have tempted me, muchly, really, even with my wardrobe stashing skills I just thought that, actually, I'd rather be saving that casherooni for our next trip overseas..
Hello The KMart.
Tick Tick Boom
Vintage style blue wine glasses.
Do not come to my old place and think you might pick up one of these and smile with pleasure at their handblown quality, their weight, and be secretly jealous that my wine glasses cost more than your car...friend, that would not happen...these do not feel like that...indeed these in a funny way reminded me of my baby girl, she was a tiny little thing, with stick legs, the tinsssssssiest ankles and wrists you ever did see, she slept sideways in her cot wedged in between rolled up blankets and would only settle attached to Mr Beach Cottage or I or a (dirty) pj top of mine scrunched up under her nose...the first few times I picked her up to cuddle, being used to Honeymoon Baby who weighed in at 9lbs at birth and has never really stopped growing, I nearly threw her little bird-cum-rat down covered body over my shoulder.
These glasses are like that...be careful or you might lose your wine down the front of your shirt.
But oh baby, we are not talking picking up here, we are not talking quality, we are not talking house accessory snobbery.
Beach Cottage ladies, we are talking aesthetics.
And this is what I need in my cottage.
Blue vintage style glass, paired with coastal / nautical / beach stuff on my deck.
It's The KMart.
Tune in tomorrow, tomorrow, I have more budget foofing for your home, or maybe it will be the dress that wraps me up in supermarket-chic and makes me feel like me again.
Good Day to you my friends, wanna come hang out on my deck, talk house accessories, The KMart and drink some wine from blue glasses?
Sarah
while i dont eat strawberries, i am thinking of other fruits that this will work with and about to write it in my journal to make when DH is home in a few weeks. Looking forward to trying this.
I have made several batches now of the muffins and they are a hit. yesterday i added apricot jam as i had run out of other fruits and i must say they where just amazing, such an easy thing to whip up for sunday breakfast, with lots left over for the rest of the week.
any old thing will work, I have tried it all including tinned fruit…recipe for that soon…
soooo glad you liked the muffins and yep too easy to whip up…wondering if you could pass on how much apricot jam you added???? this would make this recipe very store cupboard which would be great for me xo
i think it was around 1/2 a jar
they are so nice.. i actually had them for breakfast and lunch yesterday and then for lunch today. DD took one to school and DH took some away with him. and there are still a few left. i just chucked the whole lot in the kitchenaid gave it a quick whisk and 20 mins later they where done.
is it bad that i am dreaming what they would be like with red and green glace cherries in for christmas
no it is not! I think that sounds fabbo!
hmm, sounds interesting, I will try the jam idea…that cannot really be any easier heh?
x
You are so right! I use apples because I always have some around…fruit crumble is one of the easiest sure to please deserts isn’t it?
Anyway…love the color combinations in your pics … turquiose and red, gotta love it!

I’m in love with your blue dishes! I would ask you where you got them, but I have a feeling you’ll say they’re from a flea market many years ago.
Fantastic recipe!!!
yep I think that was from the infamous Vinnies…it was much more blue when I bought it, and pristine, but now it’s been through the dishwasher so many times it’s faded…love it now x

oh my! there are shop bought ones??? I really didn’t know that…you have to go DIY, it really is a no-brainer!
Oh my goodness. Thank you for sharing. This looks fantastic!
Yum…this looks delicious!!
Sarah – the ultimate is to put your crumble topping on your blueberry muffins. Fill the muffin mix 3/4 to the top and top with crumble mix – the combination is magic

This is one recipe I have to try! The fact that I can make it in single serve portions makes me happy! Hoping you are able to fix the recipe link!
Wow!! My son – 8, made this last night after I read your post and it was delish….never thought to add berries to a crumble. We substituted the oats for some homemade granola….courteousy of the BC recipe files.

It looks great. Would be very simple for me to make it vegan too! Hooray.
You always seem to make things look so good!!!! Pamie G.
Thanks this sounds very simple. i make an apple crisp which is basically the same recipe. I never thought to try it with strawberries and pears. YUM
oh wow!..a crumble can l eat it for breakfast? hehe cant wait to try this one..thanks for sharing
My 26yr old son made the muffins yesterday afternoon..he turned up and walk straight into the kitchen to see if l’d made any more muffins hehe none to be found so under instruction he made his own banana his favourite…..they were fabulous as always

Oh how I wish strawberries were in season now! That looks lovely, As do your pretty little vintage dishes
this looks so good and your pictures are so pretty!!!!
This looks great! I really love strawberries. I think it is yummier if I add some chocolate chips or chocolate syrup. For me chocolate and strawberry is such a great combination. I will surely try this.
This one seems to be so sweet Strawberry always looks so sweet and I should probably make some of this in our anniversary. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Just what I was looking for! Simple and easy..although strawberries are not in season, I’d probably try the jam first. I’ll let you know what happens
I think this looks so amazing!! Can’t wait to make it for the next get together i go to! Thanks for all the great ideas!
