Hi from Sydney Australia

Hi.
I love my thermomix, had it for a while, but only really cooked the basics out of the everyday cookbook.

I've been asked to make a dessert for a family meal on Sunday. My selection is Apple & Raspberry shortcake with crumble.

My problem is that I have never owned a food processor. The recipe calls processing flour, caster sugar & butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.

On what speed and how long does that take in the thermi?

And after that, adding in the egg & milk until it comes together?

Any help/suggestions would be warmly welcomed.

Thank you
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid, welcome to the forum 😃

I would put the flour butter and sugar in the bowl, set the dial to closed lid and the hit the turbo button about 3-4 times. Each pulse shoud last 1-2 secs.

Then add the egg and milk and combine speed 5-6 for about 7 secs should do it.  Better to go less, stop the machine and have a look at your dough and decide if you need another couple of seconds.

Good luck!

Hello Ingrid, welcome to the forum.  Snappy has given you the information you wanted, I was going to suggest you look at Isi's recipe here.  If you read the members' comments after the recipe, you will see where it has been suggested to cook the crumble twice - it seems to produce a real wow factor to crumble by the sounds of it.

Thanks so much, Snappy & Judydawn, for the welcome. Much appreciated.  :-)

I go to the Thermomix cooking demos, get inspired, then work happens. I live on my own, work for myself, so cooking for myself doesn't always come high on the agenda.

A bit more confidence in Thermi cooking techniques is what I need.

Thanks again!
