Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats

Instructions
 

  • In a good-sized bowl so you have lots of working room, measure out your flour and stir in the salt
  • Add in your cold cubed butter or fat
  • With clean cold hands, scoop up some of the flour with some of the butter and rub it together across your fingers with your thumb - this is called the rubbing in method
  • Keep working on it until it looks like fine breadcrumbs
  • Stir in the brown sugar making sure you break up any lumps
  • Stir in the oats
  • Squeeze the topping by the handful to make some large clumps
  • Layer the crisp mixture over the fruit topping making sure you have the clumps evenly spaced
  • Bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the crisp is a nice golden brown

Notes

Tips for rubbing in your butter
If the butter starts to become too soft put the bowl into the fridge for 10 minutes or so to cool it down
Shake the bowl to bring any of the bigger lumps to the surface
