👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps of brown sugar.
-
2
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients.
-
3
Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two forks, work the butter into the flour mixture. Continue until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger, pea-sized pieces of butter still present. Be careful not to overmix; the goal is a crumbly texture, not a paste.
-
4
If desired, gently squeeze small handfuls of the mixture to create slightly larger clumps. This streusel is now ready to be sprinkled over your desired baked goods before baking.
💡 Notes
For best results, ensure your butter is very cold. This helps create distinct crumbs. Store any leftover streusel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. You can add 1/4 cup of chopped nuts or rolled oats for extra texture.
