Recipe of the day : Millionaires' Shortbread
Recipes adapted from HERE
- For the shortbread:
- 250g plain flour
- 75g caster sugar
- 175g butter, softened
- For the caramel:
- 100g butter or margarine
- 100g sugar ( I only used 70g of sugar )
- 2 x 397g cans condensed milk ( I only used 1 cans of condense milk)
- For the topping:
200g plain or milk chocolate, broken into pieces
METHOD
- Pre-heat the oven to 180'C
- To make the shortbread, mix the flour and caster sugar in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Knead the mixture together until it forms a dough, then press into the base of the prepared tin. Prick the shortbread lightly with a fork and bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes or until firm to the touch and very lightly browned. Cool in the tin.
- To make the caramel, measure the butter, sugar and condensed milk into a pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, stirring all the time, then reduce the heat and simmer very gently, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Pour over the shortbread and leave to cool.
- For the topping, melt the chocolate slowly in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Pour over the cold caramel and leave to set. Cut into squares or bars.
