Some streusel recipes call for sparse amount of ingredients and it’s disappointingly not enough. Then some call for so much I end up with enough streusel for a second time. So I save it, but of course I never use it, and months pass and that is when the leftover streusel is tossed. By then I feel less guilty for the waste, because… the streusel may not even be safe to use. Well no more, I am making a note for myself; this is the right amount of streusel for a dozen muffins or for one coffee cake.
STREUSEL TOPPING
1/4 cup nuts, crushed
1/4 cup flour
dash cinnamon
dash nutmeg
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp butter, soft
- In a small bowl, first combine the dry ingredients.
- Using a fork, cut the butter into the mixture until incorporated.
- Distribute the mixture over the tops of your muffins or a coffee cake and bake.
