Equipment
  • 1 baking dish
  • 2 mixing bowl
Ingredients
  
  • 2 lbs Rhubarb cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 4 oz Granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp Freshly grated root ginger
  • 6 oz Plain flour
  • 3 oz Cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 4 oz Light brown sugar
  • Ground almonds
  • Ground ginger
  • ice cream or custard for serving Optional
Instructions
 
  • Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
    Wash the rhubarb, remove the leaves, and cut the stalks into roughly 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks.
    Toss the rhubarb chunks in a mixing bowl with the granulated sugar and freshly grated root ginger.
    Once mixed, place the rhubarb mixture in an ovenproof baking dish and set aside. 
  • Crumble Mix: In a separate mixing bowl or food processor, combine the plain flour, cubed cold unsalted butter, light brown sugar, ground almonds, and a pinch of ground ginger.
    Pulse until the crumble mix resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
    If you're using a mixing bowl, use your fingers to rub the butter into the other ingredients to achieve the desired texture.
  • Assemble: Spread the crumble mix evenly over the rhubarb mixture in the baking dish, ensuring that the fruit is fully covered.
    Then, lightly press down on the crumble mix so it sticks together.
  • Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the rhubarb filling is bubbling around the edges.
  • Serve: Allow the rhubarb crumble to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
    Enjoy it while it's still warm, accompanied by ice cream, custard, or your desired topping.
    Make sure to follow these steps closely for a successful and delicious Delia Smith Rhubarb Crumble.
