Rhubarb crumble
A very easy, five-ingredient recipe. This is a versatile way to enjoy this quintessential English winter fruit: you can add in any other fruit you fancy, from oranges to apples and dates, or try a shake of cinnamon or few drops of vanilla essence. This dessert is very easy to make and a great excuse for eating lot of cream or custard. Replace the flour with oats and fine oatmeal for a gluten free alternative.
