blueberry crumble

[anna owens]

sorry,not sure if that last post made sense.

I put 400g of fresh blueberries into the baking tin, put the crumble on top and then placed in the oven on a medium heat for 40 mins, but when I removed the crumble from the oven, most of the actual crumble had sunk into the melted blackberries.

For the crumble I used half a cup of sugar, half a cup of plain flour and approximately 100- 125 grams of butter. Its bugging me because no matter how little or how much crumble I put on top it still sinks (this is the 4th time i've tried).
I'm even thinking it may be the debth of the baking tin which is approximately 2 inches.

I've never been on a forum website before and I'm surprising myself that I'm on here writing this.
I am however determined to crack this crumble!

Here is a recipe I use to make blueberry crisp. It always works for me.

4 cups blueberries (If using frozen do not thaw)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Mix together and put in a greased, 8-inch square baking dish. (I use a glass dish 2-inches in depth)

Crumb layer:

1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
3/4 cup oats (quick cooking)
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted

Mix all together and press on top of blueberry mixture, to cover completely.
Bake at 350 F. for 30 minutes or until blueberries are bubbly along sides.
I always place a piece of foil, on the rack directly under the dish, because I hate to clean my oven. LOL
