Whats Cooking? Blog Hop! Plum Crumble

Hi all :)
I love to bake and I'm always on the lookout for new recipes, so i have decided to attempt my first ever "Blog hop"

The basic idea is to create a weekly "hop" and collect some new recipes to try :) It can be any recipe you like, it doesn't have to be baking
I'm a day early here, but it will be held every Monday (Midnight on Sunday till midnight on Monday) 
Just add your link below :)


This week, i am sharing one of my very favourite recipes, Plum Crumble.

Now this is a very casual Chuck-It-All-In recipe, if you don't have half the ingredients don't worry! Just throw in what ever you have!

For the Filling:

Plums (However many you have at the time of baking)
A sprinkle of sugar
A smidge of nutmeg (not essential don't worry if you don't have it)

For The Crumble:

250g Plain flour
100g sugar
150g butter
couple of digestive biscuits (if you have them) roughly crushed
100g porridge oats


How To:

Pre heat the oven to 200c/180c fan/ gas mark 6
Obviously you'll need to chop your plums and remove the stones
If you have an apple corer use it. They are marvelous for getting the stones out, especially if the plums have just come out of the fridge and are a bit hard.
Add any other ingredients you fancy! Leftover apples? Throw them in! Sultanas? Go for it! 
Pop them in a pan,add a sprinkle of sugar and nutmeg, cover with water and let them simmer for 10minutes, just to soften.
Meanwhile, make your crumble mix.
Pop the flour and butter into a bowl and rub together, add the sugar,stir it in and do the same with the oats and biscuits, they add a lovely texture.

When your plums (and other ingredients) are nice and soft plop them in a baking dish and spread out to cover the bottom

Sprinkle the crumble on top 
Pop it in the oven and let bake for 30- 40mins until golden brown on top
Add custard/cream/ ice cream and enjoy!
Yum!

Hello?

*Peers round corner* Hello? Is anyone there? First of all, i would like to apologize for being so long updating here! It's been pretty busy around here, especially in the past month or two, and i have been updating mostly via Instagram.  We discovered that The Bearded Wonder has been having quite big heart issues , so much so that he was initially referred to get a pacemaker fitted, but on the day of his surgery the surgeon decided he was too young for a pacemaker and ended up fitting him with an under the skin monitor instead, which shall be in for 3 years, then he'll be re-assessed to see if a pacemaker is more suitable. He is doing well, and recovering nicely from the surgery. In other news, today is the day that Angus has been in our lives for a whole year! He was so tiny then. Somehow, out of nowhere, he has turned into this really fat, obnoxious fluffball! We are still enjoying going out and about on the bikes, and we are looking fo...

Blessed and Yarning Along :)

Hi guys :) Today i am joining in with the Yarn Along :) (slightly late lol) I am declaring myself a genius! for weeks i have been trying to knit socks on 9in circulars, and i couldn't get it right. I cast on from the cuff and it was always too loose, so, i pondered for a while, threw it at the wall. And then suddenly it hit me (the idea, not the yarn bouncing off the wall :D )  Crochet the toe! I can't get my head around DPN's, they are far too complicated for me and so is the magic loop method, so this way is perfect! I can get a nice neat toe and can try it on as i go to get the length right, so off i went, and then threaded it through the needle and just went on knitting! So far it is working perfectly! I am currently re-reading The Perfect Match, by Katie Fforde, now i absolutely adore this author, I have all of her books but the very latest one: A Vintage Wedding, but i am still looking in charity shops, so finger crossed :)  Her books are a pe...

And Breathe...

Hi Guys :) Thank you all for your kind words and advice after my... meltdown  minor setback, last week, it was very much appreciated. I have trimmed down the leeks to stabilize them, and am looking into setting in a hedge at the back of the house. I went to the local textiles group this afternoon, for a break, and i found this on my table when i came home. He bought it to cheer me up after my meltdown minor setback Ain't he sweet :')  I've been busy sorting out what used to be the pantry. Remember the lovely pantry? Well... (another sodding thing wrong with the house,  to add the list!!) it turns out that cupboard is too cold to store food and had started to grow mold on the shelves and warp the wood.So, all of the food has been moved back in to the tiny kitchen, and i have turned it into a coat room instead Bags on one side, hats in the middle  our most used summer coats and hats on the other   and my most used shoes in the bas...
