FAQ:
Why is the topping called streusel?
The term "streusel" is derived from the German word "Streusel," which translates to "something scattered or sprinkled." This name aptly characterizes streusel as a crumbly topping comprising flour, butter, and sugar that is scattered over various baked goods like muffins, breads, pies, and cakes.
Streusel serves as a sweet and crumbly topping that enriches the flavor and texture of baked goods. Typically made with fundamental ingredients such as butter, flour, and sugar, streusel can be customized with additions like oats, spices, or nuts to enhance flavor and provide a crunchy texture. Its versatility allows it to adorn a diverse range of desserts including coffee cake, muffins, fruit crisps, and more.
The name "streusel" mirrors the essence of this delightful topping - a scattered or sprinkled blend that imparts a delectable finishing touch to baked goods.
