A pan version of a crumble. Whether the biscuit base holds or simply goes to paste is the open question.
- Almonds toasted dry, two minutes, out. Set aside with a third of the biscuits crushed coarsely.
- Crush the remaining biscuits to rubble. Oil in the pan on a low heat, crumbs in, three minutes stirring until they darken and smell toasted.
- Jam and evaporated milk stirred in with the cinnamon. Low heat, three or four minutes, until it thickens to a soft spoonable mess.
- Reserved crumbs and almonds over the top, off the heat.
Keep the heat low throughout. Evaporated milk and jam are both mostly sugar and will catch and turn bitter over a fierce flame.
Serves 3.
