I see this is an old recipe resurrected but it was enough to inspire me Cambourne  :)

I saw this post 10 mins ago,ran into the garden, chopped down the rhubarb and assembled as instructed, didn't have any ginger so exchanged for a dash of nutmeg, thanks Cambourne, I know my son will be so pleased when he gets home  ;D

Hope i am not trying to teach ladies to suck eggs, but have you tried making the crumble seperate so it is more crispy and served seperate.By puting it into a greased square baking tin, slightly compressing it then bake.

i havent tried that, maybe its worth a try.
TBh im 31 and this has been the firstime ever that i have made crumble. I actually finished mine today under the grill to make the topping nice and cripsy  ;)

Even the kids tried it, because they actually harvested the rhubarb themselves.

If you bake the crumble seperate then it gives you the option of having it as you like it.
Crumble on the bottom with rhubarb and custard over the top (soggy crumble)
Rhubarb on the bottom crumble then custard on the top (not so soggy crumble)
Rhubarb and custard on the bottom crispy crumble on the top

Don't know where I got this tip from, but for years I've always sprinkled cold water over the crumble before baking it, to get a crispy top.  It works well. I just run the tap, and keep dipping my fingers in it and shaking over the crumble.

A dash of elderflower wine before adding the topping gives rhubarb crumble just that something extra!

Try making your crumble topping with half flour & half porridge oats - very moreish & lovely texture!!
