The Home Economics Bit

Did you know?

Apple crumble is made using the rubbing-in method of cake making. The rubbing-in method involves cutting the fat into small pieces and incorporating it into the dry ingredients using your fingertips; i.e. the fat (e.g. butter) is gently rubbed into the dry ingredients (e.g. flour) by hand. The rubbing-in method is used to make a range of baked goods, including fruit crumbles, pastry, scones and some biscuits (e.g. shortbread).
