Crumble
- 100 g butter (cold)
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g wheat flour (plain)
- 100 g Steirerkraft ground pumpkin seeds
- 20 g Steirerkraft coarsely chopped pumpkin seeds
- 1 pinch salt
Preparation
For the base, quickly knead together all the ingredients (except the plums) and press the dough into a greased tart or baking dish to form the base. Halve and pit the plums, then arrange them on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and a little sugar.
Now for the crumble: knead the butter, sugar, ground and chopped pumpkin seeds, flour, and salt into a dough, then crumble it evenly over the plums. The topping should sit in loose crumbles.
Bake in a preheated oven for about 25–30 minutes. The cake can be served warm straight from the oven, but it also tastes just as good cold.
