Shortcake Crumb

Ingredients

1½

cups cake flour (159 g)

cup + 1 tablespoon sugar (63 g)

teaspoon baking powder (1 g)

teaspoon Kosher salt (2 g)

tablespoons butter (66 g)

teaspoon dark vanilla extract (4.5 g)

Shortcake Crumb

Makes about 1 cup (300 g)

Step 1

Heat the oven to 250°F.

Step 2

Combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Toss with your hands to mix.

Step 3

Add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Toss using a spatula until the mixture starts to come together and form small clusters.

Step 4

Spread the clusters on a parchment-or Silpat-lined sheet pan and bake for 30 minutes. The crumbs should be sandy at that point, and your kitchen should smell like buttery heaven. Cool the crumbs completely.
