FRUIT LAYER-
quarter the plums and remove the stones and discard the stones,not the plums my dears:-)
and then add the sugar and a tablespoon of flour in to a large bowl and toss the lot around for a moment.Then place the lot into a 30cm gratin dish or what you have handy or smaller dishes for wee crumbles.
whizz the crumble topping ingredients in a food processor until the the mixture resembles fine crumbs and just starts to cling together in nibs,be careful not to over mix or the mixture will turn to dough,so keep an eagle eye on the food processor please!
scatter the crumble topping over the fruit layer and sprinkle a little sugar on top for a little extra crunching power.
Bake in the centre of the oven for 30-45 minutes till the top is golden brown and crisp
remove from oven and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes then serve with clotted cream/pouring cream/ice cream,custard or what ever takes your fancy
eat,enjoy-yummy!!!!
