Makes approx. 3/4 Cups of Topping
ELEMENTS:
One-third cup WHITE SUGAR
One-fourth cup WHITE or WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR
One and one-fourth teaspoon GROUND CINNAMON
3 tablespoons *chilled* NON-DAIRY MARGARINE (such as Nucoa)
application:
In a small bowl, combine all dry ingredients first. Then, using a fork, pastry blender, or mini food processor, cut *chilled* margarine into dry ingredients. Keep cutting and blending until the texture is crumbly. (A food processor would only need a few pulses to reach the crumbly stage.) Sprinkle the streusal mixture over the batter/dough before baking!
tips:
When we say chilled margarine, we mean CHILLED. This makes all the difference in how crispy your topping with turn out. It may help to put your margarine in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to ensure it’s cold and firm.
