Nutrition information is calculated using an ingredient database and should be considered an estimate. To always have the streusel on hand, you can mix up all of the ingredients except the butter and store it in the pantry. Then when the time comes, simply pour into a food processor, add the butter, and mix until crumbs form. Butter is so important to the success of your streusel topping, so don’t be tempted to skimp on it or use room-temperature butter. If you don’t use enough, the topping won’t form those coveted crumbs—it will be too floury.
