  • 350g frozen berries

For the crumble, mix together the cake flour, brown sugar, rolled oats and canola oil in a medium bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the berry mixture and bake in the closed braai until the topping is golden brown, 20 – 30 minutes. Serve the crumble with fresh berries and a dusting of icing sugar.
