You can make the crumble really quickly in a food processor but I prefer to rub in the butter and flour by hand. Once cooked and cooled I pop the whole tin in the fridge overnight to firm up, before cutting into large squares. A dollop of clotted cream on top is lovely, or you could reheat slices in the microwave and serve it as a warm pudding with custard.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE MINCEMEAT SLICE
- Add some extra fruit into the mincemeat for added fruitiness - dried cranberries would be nice.
- Stir some chopped nuts into the crumble mixture for added texture and taste.
- Serve warm with custard for an easy dessert
