Ingredients:
-
3 1/2 cup mixed berries *
-
2/3 cup lightly packed brown sugar
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/8 tsp cinnamon
-
1/8 tsp nutmeg
-
1/8 tsp salt
-
1 pinch of cardamom
-
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 °F and grease 4 ramekins (7-8 oz.) with butter then set them aside.2. Wash the fruit and remove any stems or leaves. Slice strawberries if using any. Put in a medium mixing bowl; set aside.
3. Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom in a bowl.
4. Add the cold unsalted butter cubes into the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender to cut/blend the butter into the dry mixture. The cut pieces of butter should be no larger than a pea.
5. Using a spoon, mix 1/2 cup of the crisp mixture into the berries.
6. Fill each ramekin with a quarter of the berry mixture.
7. Spoon the extra crisp mixture on top of the berries, splitting it evenly between the ramekins.
8. Place the filled ramekins on a baking sheet and into the oven for 45 minutes. The crisps should be golden brown and bubbling. If not browned enough, set the oven to broil for at most 2 minutes.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Enjoy!
