- Add butter to dry mix and rub in using fingertips until there is a bread crumb consistency. Taste topping and alter to taste (ie add slightly more sugar or almond meal but ensure you don’t dry out the topping too much).

Variations and notes
- The topping can be prepared before time and refrigerated.
- Add a kick by adding a splash of vodka or Cointreau to the berries and allow to marinate for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use gluten free flour in place of regular self raising flour if you need to make this dessert gluten free.
