Chop the rhubarb into 2.5cm (1in) pieces and place them in a bowl.
500 g rhubarb
Sprinkle the white sugar, ground ginger and cornflour all over and mix thoroughly using your hands. Place in the baking dish and set aside.
60 g white sugar, ¼ tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp cornflour
The Crumble
If you have a large chopper or food processor, place the cold butter and flour and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand, then tip into a large bowl. Otherwise, chop up the butter into little cubes and rub into the flour using your fingertips. Don't knead. Do all this in a large bowl.
150 g cold salted butter, 200 g plain flour
Add the demerara and white sugar to the flour/butter mix and using your fingertips, mix it all in. Do not overwork, keep it light, crumbly and airy.
60 g demerara sugar, 30 g white sugar
Assembly
Sprinkle the crumble all over the rhubarb in an even layer. Don't press it down. This will leave the crumble light and crispy.
Bake for about 35-45 minutes, until the top is a golden brown, looks crispy and the sides are bubbling a little with the rhubarb. I like mine brown and crispy, so I tend to go for 45 minutes. It's a matter of taste.
Take it out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes, then serve as mentioned above.
