Streusel Topping
In a small bowl, combine sugar, chopped almonds, flour and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter with the back of a fork or using 2 knives until mixture is crumbly. Chill until ready to use.
QUICK TIP
If you do not have buttermilk available, make sour milk by combining 2 ½ teaspoons lemon juice or white vinegar with enough milk to make 3/4 cup. Let stand 5 minutes before using.
