At its most basic, streusel is a mixture of butter, sugar, and flour. It puffs slightly when it bakes and adds a crispy-crunchy layer of texture. Basic streusel is made with equal parts butter and sugar and twice as much flour, plus a healthy pinch of salt. This recipe scales up beautifully, so you can even make a large batch to freeze for later use. When mixing, you only need a bowl and your fingers unless making a large quantity, in which case a mixer can be used. The mixture should be rubbed until the butter is completely combined and crumbly. Streusel can be flavored with mix-ins like toasted nuts, spices, or extracts to complement the recipe it is topping.
