For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) to the mixture.
A pinch of salt enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors.
If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two knives or a food processor to cut in the butter.
Make sure the butter is very cold; this will help create the best crumb texture.

    I love how easy this recipe is! I always have it on hand for a quick muffin topping.

  • Madie Abernathy

    The cold butter is definitely key. My first batch was a bit of a disaster because my butter was too soft.

  • Elliott Kshlerin

    I added a bit of nutmeg and it was delicious!

  • Cedrick Wuckert

    Freezing it is a game-changer. No more last-minute topping scrambles!
