streusel ingredients :


  -1 stick of butter (8 oz)
  -1/3 cup+ 2 tbsp suger 
  -3/4 to 1 cup of flour

heat the butter on medium heat, just to melt it all, stir in cinnamon , take from heat ,stir in sugar, now slowly add flour to make it non liquid ( didn't take me a whole cup last time but it differs with the temp!), take out of pot and place in a bowl , set in the fridge.
