  1. Strawberry and Almond Crumble Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6. Put the hulled strawberries into your pie dish (Iuse a round one) and sprinkle over them the sugar, almonds and vanilla extract. Give the dish a good shake or two to mix the ingredients.

  2. Now for the crumble topping: Put the flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl and rub in the cold, diced butter between thumb and fingers (or in a freestanding mixer).

  3. When you've finished, it should resemble rough, pale oatmeal. Stir in the flaked almondsand sugar with a fork.

  4. Tip this over the strawberry mixture, covering the strawberries in an even layer and giving a bit of a press in at the edges of the dish. Set the dish on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, by which time the crumble topping will have darkened to a pale gold and some pink-red juices will be seeping and bubbling out at the edges.

  5. Leave to stand for 10 minutes before serving, and be sure to put a jug of chilled doublecream on the table alongside.

  6. Make ahead note:

  7. The crumble can be assembled 1 day ahead. Cover with clingfilm and store in fridge until needed.
