Crumb Topping

I always sprinkle this crumb topping liberally on my babkas. It is a simple mix of flour, sugar and margarine. It lends texture and crunch to the babka crust. I also use it on my rugelach for the same reasons. Making blueberry muffins the other day, I decide to shake some over their tops before baking. The crumb topping is a nice finish to many coffeecakes, too.

I've begun each of the babka videos making this topping. I find the hand held beater the best way to make the crumb light without clumping. A paddle mixer attachment will make a paste that is difficult to breakup. If you don't have a hand held mixer, use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to gently work the ingredients together. Check out the videos!
