A Few Notes

Use the fruit straight from the freezer.

Leave gaps between the spoonfuls of topping.

Rub the butter in with cold hands.

Serve warm, not hot.

Swaps and Variations

  • No self-raising flour to hand? The common home substitute is the same weight of plain flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder for every 150 g, sifted together well; the rise may not be identical to a bought self-raising flour.

Keeping What's Left

Keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in a warm oven.
