    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. In a bowl rub together the sugar, flour, baking powder and butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the oats, mix through the crumb mixture.
    2. Line a baking sheet with nonstick baking paper, pour the mix onto the sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
    3. Cut the rhubarb into 5cm lengths, place in a large pan with 50ml of water, cover, bring to the boil and then reduce to a gentle simmer for 7 minutes, until the rhubarb is soft. Remove from the heat and drizzle in the runny honey. Stir gently, replace lid and let stand for 5 minutes.
    4. Spoon rhubarb into 6 serving glasses, break the crumble topping and sprinkle over the top of the rhubarb. Add a drizzle of honey and a spoonful of crème fraîche.
