Streusel Topping

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Using your fingers, work in the butter until large, moist crumbs form. (Make sure the crumbs are large so they form a crisp topping as the cake bakes instead of melting into the batter.) Chill streusel until ready to use.
