  • 85 g golden caster sugar
  • 175 g plain flour
  • 75 g demerara sugar
  • 85 g salted butter chilled

  • ice cream optional
  • custard optional

Instructions
 

To Make:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/Fan 160C/Gas 4.Toss the gooseberries with the caster sugar, spread in the bottom of a medium ovenproof baking dish with 2 tbsp water.
  • To make the crumble, put the flour, butter and a big pinch of salt in a bowl. Rub together with your fingertips until you have a rough breadcrumb texture. Mix in the demerera sugar.
  • Scatter the crumble topping evenly over the gooseberries. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes until top is pale golden and crunchy and the gooseberries bubbling. You can also give the crumble a quick flash under a hot grill to give the top an extra browning if you like.
