Plum Crumble

Recipes for 'crumbles' can be easily found but this has been reduced to suit a single portion, albeit a large portion. Many different types of fruit can be used.

Ingredients

For 1	Continued...
2 plums - depends on size (see note)	50 gm plain flour
1 tbspn sugar	30 gm butter
1 tbspn water	50 gm sugar

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180° C.
Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the stone from the plums and cut the flesh of the fruit into 'bite-sized' pieces.
Put the fruit pieces into an oven-proof dish and add 1 tbspn of sugar, mixing well.
Add 1 tbspn of water.
Cut the butter, straight out of the fridge, into small cubes.
Add the flour to a decent sized bowl and rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Mix in the 50 gm of sugar.
Add the 'crumble mixture' to the top of the fruit, squeezing the crumble to compress it a little.

Cooking

Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.

Serving

Serve with cream, yogurt, evaporated milk or custard - whatever takes your fancy.

Notes

(1) I have also used nectarines, but any fruit can also be used.
