💡Tips
1. Watch Your Heat
Keep that heat low – seriously, lower than you might think! High heat is the number one reason these crumbles can fail.
If your butter starts bubbling too much or the milk powder begins to darken too quickly, turn down the heat immediately.
You’re looking for a very gentle cooking process where you can see the mixture slowly changing color over time. A good way to test if your heat is right: the butter should be just melted and barely simmering.
If you see rapid bubbling, that’s too hot. Think of it like making caramel – slow and steady wins the race.
2. Cooling Process
The cooling step is just as important as the cooking! Don’t rush it. Spread the crumbles out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper rather than keeping them in a bowl. This helps them cool evenly and develop the right texture.
As they cool, they’ll continue to crisp up, so don’t worry if they seem a bit soft when you first strain them.
Break up any large clumps while they’re still slightly warm – once they cool completely, they become harder to separate.
3. Color
The color progression is your best guide for perfect crumbles. Start with the creamy yellow of melted butter, then watch for these stages:
light golden (too early), golden brown (getting close), and finally deep golden brown (perfect). Stop before you reach dark brown – that means they’re burning.

FAQ
Why did my crumbles turn black?
Black crumbles mean the heat was too high. This is the most common problem people have. The key is to use very low heat – lower than you might think. If your crumbles are turning black, your heat is definitely too high.
