Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and lightly beaten egg to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, make the crumb topping by combining the brown sugar, softened butter, 1.5 cups of flour, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Use your hands or a fork to mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter, pressing it lightly into the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the crumb buns cool slightly in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
