Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
Step 2
Rinse and drain the rhubarb pieces, and place them in a deep ovenproof dish. Add the light brown sugar and mix briefly.
Step 3
Put the flours in a mixing bowl. Add the butter. With your fingers (not the palms of your hands), rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over this mixture, and mix them in briefly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the fruit, making a complete layer. Do not press the topping down—you want it light and crumbly.
Step 6
Put the dish in the oven (no lid) for 35–45 minutes until crisp and a bit brown.
Step 7
Serve with custard.
