  • 75 grams butter (slightly softened)

Rhubarb Crumble is a community recipe submitted by cottage_cook and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

  • Preheat the oven to 200°c, gas mark 6, fan 180°c.
  • Lightly grease the sides of 4 ovenproof ramekins or teacups (dont use your finest china cups) and place on a baking sheet.
  • Cut the rhubarb into approximately 1 inch pieces and put into a bowl.
  • Mix together with 50g of the sugar and set aside. Put the flour into a bowl and add the butter, cut into pieces. Rub in with your fingertips until the mixture just starts to bind together.
  • Stir in the remaining sugar and the oats to make a coarse crumble.
  • Divide the rhubarb between the four ramekins or teacups and scatter the crumble mixture over the fruit, piling it up in the centre as it will sink after baking.
  • Sprinkle with a little extra sugar. Bake for about 30 minutes until the crumble is golden and the rhubarb has started to bubble up. If you prefer to use a larger dish, make the crumble in a shallow 900ml ovenproof dish and add on about 5 minutes to the cooking time.

    • I LOVE this crumble recipe. I always think there's too much butter when making it…but then the sugar and oats go in. It's a fantastic recipe, and so quick!
