Ingredients

  • 500g rhubarb, trimmed and sliced into 3cm pieces
  • 50ml water

  • 200g plain flour
  • 100g cold butter, cubed
  • 125g demerara sugar

  2. Put the rhubarb in a 1.2 litre ovenproof dish. Sprinkle over the water and caster sugar.
  3. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, pulse in a food processor. Stir in the demerara sugar.

A great dish - use 1-2 tbs of oats to replace some of the flour for a topping with more taste/substance!

Great, but forgot to put sugar on rubbard and it tasted just fine, a little tart though

This recipe worked perfect for me. It doesn't look amazing, but it tasted great. My mother told me to add in some orange juice to the rhubarb, but the extra sugar made up for it. My rhubarb and crumble topping were both perfectly synchronised, and so I didn't need to stew the rhubarb alone first, which was great. I'm referring this recipe to everyone from now on!

about to try this recipe for myself, but did notice that other recipes suggest roasting the rhubarb for 10 mins first. maybe that might help with your problem Cadday. I'm going to roast mine, will let you know the outcome!

I made this almost exactly as suggested, but replaced 50g of the flour with 50g of oats, for some extra texture. It came out delicious, and it's so easy to make - I will always use this recipe from now on.

Fantastic, but could have got away with a little less sugar than the recipe suggests if you like your rhubarb a bit tart
