• Cut the butter into 1 tablespoon sized slices.
• Add the flour and cold butter to the bowl of a food processor.
• Use a pastry blender which ultimately works pretty similar to the knife method but is easier.
• Proceed with your recipe as instructed.
• Freeze the butter you plan to use in the recipe.
• Then, grate the butter using a box cheese grater.
• After you have grated all of the butter you plan to use, mix the cold, grated butter into the flour mixture.
• After you’ve mixed it all up, stick the bowl of the flour and butter mixture in the freezer for a few minutes to get the butter really, really cold again.
• Finally, proceed with the rest of the recipe according to the instructions.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix together the fruit and granulated sugar (you will need less sugar for canned fruit) so it’s evenly coated. Tip into a pie dish where it fits snugly.
• Rub the butter into the flour to make a light breadcrumb texture. Do not overwork it or the crumble will become heavy. Add in the demerara sugar until combined and spread over the fruit until completely covered.
• Bake for 35-50 mins until golden brown and bubbling, and the fruit is tender. Leave to cool for 5 mins before serving.
