The recipe my mum gave me had 150 grams butter and 50 grams of stork but I couldn’t be arsed finding any so just got the poshest butter I could see from waitrose.

Sounds pretty fucking good, so good in fact I can tolerate the prog that’s playing on the radio at the moment.

Chris’ were more crumbly/buttery and Mark’s were more biscuity and had choc chips.
Both achieved a state of absolute adequacy, so it was a win/win :heart_eyes:

Let’s face it, it’s size medium, so that narrows it down a heck of a lot :laughing:

Can everyone who brought music along list what albums were played in the back room as there was some cracking tunes yesterday?

274

Thanks Chris, I’m going to do this now. Mark’s recipe is obviously a secret. :roll_eyes:

The trick to the crumble is to mix the butter and sugar together like a bastard, sieve the flour and then mix in very slowly and carefully just the minimum amount to mix otherwise it will be tough.

276

Ah… i just toshed it all together and cut them into discs! We shall see… :grinning:

277

Gives you an excuse to make another batch once you’ve quality tested that one :wink:
