Ingredients
- 1¼ cup all-purpose flour (150g)

- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled (113g)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt
- Pour in the melted, cooled butter and stir with a fork until large clumps form and no dry flour remains.
- Refrigerate the mixture until ready to use.

Notes
- Allow the butter to cool after melting. If the butter is too warm, it will dissolve the sugar, and the mixture will resemble a paste.
- Use all brown sugar for more richness. While I prefer using both white sugar and brown sugar, using only brown sugar will give you a richer streusel with a stronger caramel-like flavor.
- Uneven clumps are ideal. A streusel topping is “messy” by nature, so don’t worry about trying to make it neat and uniform. While you mix everything up with a fork, clumps of different sizes will form, and that’s precisely what you’re looking for.
