400grhubarb bunch, approximate weight before trimming, washed, trimmed and cut into 3cm pieces
2tablespoonscaster sugar
For the Crumble Topping
160gself-raising flour
115gunsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
80gsoft brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan).
Wash and trim the rhubarb stalks and cut them roughly into 3cm pieces. Arrange them in a baking dish and toss in 2 tablespoons of caster sugar (my baking dish measures 23cm x 17cm one). Any leftovers can be put into a ramekin. Rhubarb shrinks a lot, so don't be afraid to pile it up high.
Weigh the flour, butter and brown sugar into the Thermomix bowl and mix for 15-25 sec/speed 5. The mixture should look like sand, but be careful not to over it, or it will become pastry!
Tip the crumble topping over the rhubarb filling and press down gently with the back of a fork. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and the rhubarb bubbles from the sides.
Serve immediately with piping hot custard or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
To Freeze: Just assemble everything together then cover well and put into the freezer uncooked. To thaw, defrost overnight in the fridge then bake as you would for 40 minutes.
