Green's Golden Crumble - 280g

Crumble is about as British as a pudding gets. No fuss, no piping bags, just fruit underneath, a golden lid on top, and custard poured over until the dish is basically a lake.

People in Canada go looking for this one because it's the crumble they grew up with. Same box in the cupboard, same golden top, same argument about who gets the corner. Making it from scratch is fine; making it the way your mum did on a Sunday is better.

It comes as a 280g pack of dry mix that sits happily in the cupboard until the craving hits. Follow the pack, scatter it over your fruit and bake. It also does a decent turn on top of a fruit traybake, or as a crunchy bit over yoghurt if nobody is watching.

Green's is a baking-aisle name in Britain, and people tend to pair this with a tin of fruit or a carton of proper custard. Whatever goes underneath, the topping is the bit everyone remembers.
