Weight Watchers Cherry and Rhubarb Crumble Dessert Recipe
Weight Watchers Cherry and Rhubarb Crumble Dessert Recipe is a delicious summer dessert that is easy to make. The tartness of the rhubarb is balanced perfectly by the sweetness of the cherries, and the crunchy topping adds a delightful texture contrast.
To make this dessert, you will need cherries, rhubarb, cherry preserves, flour, rolled oats, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and butter.
How to “cut in” butter
If a recipe calls for “cutting in” butter, it means that the butter should be cut into small pieces and then mixed into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
This process can be done by hand or with a food processor, but it’s important not to overwork the dough or the butter will melt and the dough will become too greasy.
To cut in butter by hand, start by using a pastry cutter or fork to break the butter up into small pieces. Then, using your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it’s evenly distributed and there are no large pieces remaining.
If using a food processor, simply add the flour and butter to the bowl and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Again, be careful not to overmix or the dough will become greasy.
Cutting in butter may seem like a time-consuming task, but taking care to do it correctly will result in light, flaky pastries that are worth the effort.
