Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter creates a more crumbly streusel topping. If the butter is too warm, it will melt and create a greasy topping.
  • Use a fork to blend the butter and flour: This will help to create a light and fluffy streusel topping. If you use your hands, the butter will warm up too much and the topping will be greasy.
  • Add some spices: Cinnamon is a classic spice for streusel topping, but you can also add other spices, such as nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom.
  • Bake the streusel topping until it is golden brown: This will give the topping a delicious flavor and texture.
  • Serve the streusel topping warm: Streusel topping is best served warm, when it is still slightly soft and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon streusel topping is a delicious and versatile topping that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you are looking for a classic cinnamon streusel topping or something a little more unique, this recipe has you covered.
