Notes
Cold butter works best because it helps create that crumbly, buttery texture. Try not to overmix, or the streusel can become too soft and paste-like.
How to Use
Sprinkle the streusel topping over muffins, cakes, quick breads, fruit crisps, or pies before baking. Bake according to your recipe’s instructions, until the topping is golden and crisp.
Storage
Store unused streusel topping in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer. Use it straight from the freezer whenever you need a quick crumble topping.
