Ingredients
- , for greasing butter
- 12-15 large ripe plums
- ½ lemon
- 160g/5½oz caster sugar
- 175g/6oz plain flour
- 50g/2oz caster sugar
- 50g/2oz dark muscovado sugar
- 100g/3½oz butter
- 100g/3½oz rolled porridge oats
- 2 lemons
- , to serve custard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/360F/Gas 4.
- Grease a 30cm/12in square ovenproof dish.
- Place the plums and lemon juice into the bottom of the dish and sprinkle with the sugar.
- For the crumble, in a bowl, rub together the flour, caster sugar, muscovado sugar and cold butter cubes. (It is important that the butter is cold, or you will end up making more of a dough than a crumble.) When a crumble has been achieved, add in the oats and lemon zest. Mix well.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the plum mixture in the dish, then bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden-brown.
- To serve, spoon out generous portions into bowls and serve with lashings of custard.
