Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Some larger chunks of butter are okay, as they help create a crumbly texture.
If using chopped nuts, gently fold them into the mixture until evenly distributed.
Divide the streusel mix into portion-sized batches if desired. Transfer the mix into airtight freezer-safe containers or resealable freezer bags. Flatten the bags to save space and label them with the date and name.
Store the streusel mix in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When ready to use, simply sprinkle the frozen mix over your baked goods before putting them in the oven. No need to thaw beforehand.
