For LG - a basic crumble recipe for sweet dishes is 4:2:2 where 4 is flour and the 2s are butter and sugar. For a savoury crumble you just omit the sugar and add herbs to taste, some grated cheese such as a proper Cheddar or Parmesan and, if you like, flaked almonds, chopped pistachios or whatever you fancy.
In any crumble, sweet or savoury, I substitute at least half the flour with oats cos I like the flavour and texture.

Can't find the recipes thread so am resurrecting this one.
OH has decided that Friday dinners should be "take away/street food" so, being a northern lass, I thought I'd do fish, chips and mushy peas. Trouble is there's no such thing as marrowfat peas here but I did find dried split green peas.
Will that work or should I save them for soup or dahl and just do crushed frozen peas?

I'd try the split peas first. You can always use them for something else if it doesn't work. Frozen peas would be too sweet. I seem to remember trying to make a dahl with the split peas and it didn't work because they tasted a bit like mushy peas.
PS glad you've revived this thread. I often need a bit of cooking advice. I have a strange one. Sainsbury's have stopped selling Crank's wholemeal. I liked it because it was very dense and heavy. My own comes out too light and fluffy for my taste. I've tried doing the wrong things, but it doesn't work.
Thanks @B3. At least if the split peas fail the frozen ones won't take long to whip up with some fresh apple mint (loads running wild in the garden) and lemon.

Ah - thanks for the measurements folks... that must be 142mL for a ‘youngster’ like me then!
