Crumble with self raising fl?

Oh dear.....

ohmother. ???

Weevil haf to see how this crumble turns out.

I googled weevils and yes, they are already in the flour.
They are tiny, but horrid when you see one magnified!

I’m not sure but I put it down to the heat, and I had only a plastic clip on the folded bag top.

Yay, glad your Crumble was tasty tanith.

Oh by the way it turned out fine, you learn something new every day.

I’ve never weevils myself how do they get in sealed jars? Or are they in the flour when bought?

Puzzler my weevils were very active, hundreds of the little b*****s.

My sweet jars are too tall to put into the fridge but maybe on top of the boiler in the kitchen isn’t the best place for them!

Nearly always use SR , not had any complaints
Personally. I like GF flour for crumble.

I keep my flour in the fridge after finding weevils in some a while ago!

Oh! Are you supposed to use plain?

GF flour is not always easy to use but it does make good crumbles and biscuits.

Urgh OOps we have a few variations on here that I will try,
But .......
definitely not weevils! ?

I found some once in a bag of flour after a warm spell - they were actually still moving.

Have always used SR flour rarely use plain for anything

I also put oats in and Weetabix and use any flour at hand.

I always use SR flour for crumble, with butter and Demerara sugar.

I have to use gluten free flour so I use whatever I've got.

Today it's half and half gf flour and buckwheat flour, a tablespoon of ground almonds and porridge oats. I'll scatter demerara sugar over the top before popping it in the oven.

I often have only SR so have used for crumble before - it’ll be fine.
I usually use SR for pastry, too.

I opened my sweetie jar that holds my Plain flour and it was full of weevils (urgh,yuk) so had to bin the lot, I used SR flour instead and it was fine, no different than usual.
I use the River Cottage recipe though with oats and ground Almonds in it, so that might make a difference.

I use either, everybody enjoys it no matter which flour I use.

The recipe in the Be-ro book (my mother's) is:

4 oz SR flour
2 oz margarine
2 oz sugar

Fruit of your choice.

I think the esteemed Nigella has said she uses SR flour in crumbles as it makes very little difference.
I use whatever I have to hand.

I didn't know you were supposed to use plain flour!

( My crumbles are always fine )

Please let us know

No problem, i use either.

It will just be a bit fluffy and still taste delicious.

I put Demerara sugar and oats in mine Puzzler61 so crunchy.
