“An easy streusel topping recipe with a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon.”

Ingredients

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

1. Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
2. Cut in 3 tablespoons butter with fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles course crumbs.

Kitchen Notes

This simple streusel recipe has a hint of spice and adapts easily to any add-ins. For lemon fans, add 1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon rind. Because the streusel topping can be a bit heavy at the top of the loaf, sprinkle evenly but lightly if you’d like to loaf to rise to a dome.
