🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is super important for even baking!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Give it a good whisk to make sure everything is evenly distributed.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) of cold, unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers. You want to work quickly here so the butter stays cold and creates flaky crumbs. It should resemble coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, gently mix together 2 cups (400g) fresh or frozen lingonberries (thawed if frozen), 1/4 cup (50g) all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup (50ml) of lemon juice. The lemon juice brightens up the berry flavors tremendously!
- Pour the lingonberry mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Gently combine until just mixed. Don't overmix; a few lingonberries left whole is perfectly fine (and adds nice texture!).
- Pour the crumble mixture into a greased 8x8 inch (or similar-sized) baking dish. Spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover it with foil.
- Let the crumble cool completely in the baking dish before serving. This allows it to set up properly. This is harder than you might think!
- Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh lingonberries before serving (optional, but highly reccomended).
📝 Notes
- Use fresh or frozen lingonberries; thaw frozen berries before using.
- For a spicier kick add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
- Feel free to experiment with other berries, such as cranberries or raspberries. But lingonberries are the best, I think!
