Crumb Topping

[acousticmom]

I'm looking for a good crumb topping to put over blueberries or apples for a quick baked dessert. I tried one topping recipe a while ago but didn't like it. I think it used rice flour with chopped nuts, brown sugar & butter, maybe cinnamon--but the rice flour left it a bit grainy. It didn't combine the way regular flour would.

Any suggestions?

I used to make one with Ener-g Rice Flour--1/2 cup

Brown Sugar--1/2 cup

Butter or margarine--1/4 cup

Cinnamon--1 tsp.

I've made crumb topping from an old gluteny recipe, substituting the original Hagman mixture of 2 c. rice flour, 2/3 c. potato starch, 1/3 c. tapioca starch. It was quite good. You don't really need xanthan gum or anything since it's supposed to be crumbly! In the flour mix I've used both white rice flour, which I buy at the Asian grocery 'cause it's cheap, & fine brown rice flour such as Authentic Foods superfine, which is anything but cheap!

I use a mix by The Gluten Free Pantry... I think it's called crumble mix... it's the same crumble topping that they use in their coffee cake mix, it is TDF!!! (to die for!) yum!

Thanks for the replies. Can't wait to try these. With family in town, it's a week-long food fest, and I'm bringing as much gluten-free stuff as I can. These ideas will help!

I find rice flour too grainy also.

I use a lot of buckwheat flour in my baking mix and have better success with that.
