Walnut crumbs

Walnut crumbs are a delightful and versatile addition to a variety of dishes, from desserts to salads. This recipe provides an easy and flavorful way to create a crumbly, nutty topping that is sure to enhance any meal. The combination of self-raising flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, walnuts, and butter results in a deliciously crispy and aromatic crumb.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp self-raising flour
30g
2 tbsp brown sugar
30g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/3 cup walnuts
72g
2 tbsp butter
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to have it warm for the walnut crumbs.
2. Prepare Walnuts: In a food processor, add the 1/3 cup of walnuts. Pulse them a few times until they are coarsely chopped. You can also chop them with a knife if you prefer larger pieces and more texture.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of self-raising flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Use a fork or a whisk to evenly distribute the ingredients.
4. Add the Walnuts: Add the chopped walnuts into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir to combine all the elements thoroughly.
5. Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan or a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to cool slightly but not solidify.
6. Combine with Butter: Pour the melted butter into the bowl with the dry mixture. Use a fork to mix until all the ingredients are moistened and clumps form. The mixture should hold together slightly when pressed.
7. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
8. Spread the Mixture: Evenly spread the walnut mixture on the prepared baking sheet. You can use your fingers or the back of a spoon to ensure it's well distributed.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the walnut crumbs are golden brown and crisp. Stir halfway through to ensure even baking.
10. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the walnut crumbs to cool completely on the sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.
11. Store: Once cooled, transfer the walnut crumbs to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.

Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality walnuts for the best flavor and texture.

- If you prefer a finer crumb, pulse the walnuts in a food processor until they reach your desired consistency.

- For a healthier variation, consider using whole wheat flour or reducing the amount of sugar.

- Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing and to achieve a more even crumb texture.

- Toast the walnut crumbs in the oven for a few minutes to enhance their flavor and crispiness before adding them to your dish.
