So perfectly arranged and delicious looking! I think I might eat all of the crumbles in one sitting… 🍴🤗🍴

werde es weiter geben, mein Spruch heute für dich, gesund sein ist so schön, das wünsche ich dir, Klaus

Ich kann die Crumble Vorliebe Deines Mannes gut nachvollziehen, liebe Balle. Dieses leckere Rezept muß ich mir aber wahrscheinlich selbst backen. 😊

Hey Balle, how are you?

Strolling-by with a little time I thought I’d leave a little rhyme…

~ Plum Almond Crumble ~

A cold autumn day, rustling leaves,
Splaying branches, swaying trees,
I hungered for something that’d please,
Food to appease my taste buds.
~
In need of sweet my stomach rumbled,
So to the diner where pudding crumbled,
There sat I whilst musing mumbled,
Reading aloud the new menu.
~
Desserts distracted but my eye attracted,
By an entry proposing plums.
„Perfect,“ said I, „to curb my appetite,“
„Fruit flavour to savour my tongue.“
~
Shortly thereafter the waitress arrived,
„Ready to order, or more time to decide?“
„Thank you,“ I said, „plum-crumble for me,“
„A favourite dish I choose regularly.“
~
Short minutes passed when then at last,
The waitress returned with a swish.
Smiling she said, „tis the last dish,“
„Lucky for you, you can have what you wish.“
~
„Wonderful,“ I said, „now before you go,“
„There’s something more I’d like to know.“
„Would you please tell me the full recipe?“
„What ingredients I need specifically?“
~
„I’ll go get chef,“ she politely said,
„I’m sure he’ll oblige your question.“
„Thank you,“ I said as I watched her tread:
Between tables towards the kitchen.
~
In the blink of an eye chef stood beside:
He was rotund with a smiling face.
„The recipe,“ said he, laughing merrily,
„Begins in the marketplace!“
~
„A fruiterer I know who locally grows,“
„The best product money can buy.“
„800 grams of rich ripe plums,“
„So sweet,“ he said with a sigh.
~
„To which I add a generous measure,“
„4 t’spoons of organic date sugar:“
„Then into the mix almond sticks,“
„50 grams to give it a kick.“
~
„Next I use some lemon juice,“
„4 t’spoons to give it zest.“
„Last but not least vanilla sugar,“
„Adding 1 p to all the rest.“
~
„As for the topping,“ he said without stopping,
„I start with 150 grams of butter.“
„Sugar comes next, white cane is best“
„150 grams of saccharine matter.“
~
„250 grams of flour – type 550,“
„Sieved into a bowl nice and slow.“
„Then 50 grams of almond flour,“
„Stir it all up with elbow power.“
~
„1 p of vanilla flavoured sugar,“
„Now nearly ready for the cooker,“
„Be certain to add to the equation,“
„1 full t’spoon of lemon abrasion!“
~
„And there you have it,“ chef declared,
„My recipe for crumble duly aired.“
„There’s enough for four, perhaps even more,“
„Depending on how it is shared.“
~
„Thank you,“ I said, „a real tasty treat,“
„But far to much for me to eat.“
„Why not join me, please have a seat,“
„Take some weight off your feet.“
~
„Delicious,“ I said, „the very best!“
„Tis much, much better than all the rest.“
„Almond and lemon gives it real shine,“
„My word this dish is truly divine!“
~
And so it was now happily sated,
I paid the lady who kindly waited,
And thanking chef, I made my way,
Striding-out on a cold autumn day.

Mandelmehl und Zitronenabrieb im Crumble, sehr gute Idee!

Bei mir stauen sich die Rezepte im Moment, ich komme kaum dazu, etwas Neues auszuprobieren. Im Moment hat die Musik Priorität … aber der Winter ist ja lang … 🙂
