Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (40 g) powdered sugar
- 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (170 g) seedless raspberry jam
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and thoroughly spray a jumbo muffin tin with non-stick coating to prevent sticking.
- Creaming: Utilize an electric mixer to combine butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla, and almond extracts until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Dough Formation: Integrate all-purpose flour and kosher salt into the butter mixture, stirring minimally to preserve a delicate, crumbly texture.
- Crust Creation: Evenly distribute the crumbly dough into each muffin well, pressing gently along the bottom and sides to form a rustic foundation without compacting too firmly.
- Jammy Center: Position a vibrant dollop of raspberry jam at the heart of each prepared crust, creating a luscious fruity core.
- Topping Technique: Artfully sprinkle the remaining dough across the jam, crafting an uneven, textured surface that promises delightful crunch and visual intrigue.
- Baking Process: Slide the muffin tin into the preheated oven, baking for 18-22 minutes until the tops transform into a light golden-brown hue, signaling perfect caramelization.
- Cooling and Setting: Allow the raspberry crumble delights to cool completely within the tin, facilitating proper setting and effortless removal.
- Serving: Gently loosen the edges with a knife if necessary, then carefully extract each delicate pastry from the muffin wells, ready to be savored.
Notes
- Butter Temperature Matters: Ensure butter is softened but not melted for the perfect crumbly texture that holds together beautifully.
- Jam Selection Tip: Choose high-quality, seedless raspberry jam for a smoother, more elegant filling that spreads evenly.
- Pressing Technique: Gently press crust mixture into muffin wells, avoiding compacting to maintain a light, tender base.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow pastries to cool completely in the tin to prevent breaking and ensure a stable, clean removal.
