Contents The mug crumble is a soft crumble ready in 5 minutes. The only equipment you need are a mug, a spoon and a microwave. No weighing needed The quantities in the recipes are given in spoonfuls. If you need to adapt these, check the table of equivalents at the end of the book. Perfect crumbles To get crunchy crumbles, you need to mix the dough with the tips of your fingers (not with a spoon) to obtain a fine consistency, with the ingredients well combined. Crumble it over the fruit then cook in the microwave for the time stated in the recipe.
Cooking: 3 minutes in the microwave When cooking the fruit, cover the mug with cling film (plastic wrap) pierced with a few holes to avoid any spattering. Microwaves vary from one another, so it may be necessary to reduce or increase the cooking time by a few seconds according to the results of your first try. These are generous recipes. For smaller portions, divide the amount of fruit in half without changing the quantity of crumble. The cooking times remain the same. Important: never put metal mugs or old cups in the microwave.
