Millionaire Shortbread

Ingredients

Shortbread Ingredients

• 200 g Unsalted Butter

• 100 g Caster Sugar

• 275 g Plain Flour

Caramel Ingredients

• 200 g Unsalted Butter

• 3 tbsp Caster Sugar

• 4 tbsp Golden Syrup

• 397 g Condensed Milk (one tin)

Decoration

• 300 g Milk Chocolate

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line a 9x9inch Deep Square Tin with Parchment Paper.

• Cream together the sugar and butter in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until smooth – mix in the flour until a dough is formed. It will be crumbly but the ingredients will be evenly dispersed!

• Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of tin and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until pale golden on top!

• Once baked, remove from the oven and leave to the side. In a large saucepan pour the condensed milk, butter, sugar, and golden syrup and melt on a medium heat till the sugar has dissolved – stir frequently to stop anything from catching.

• Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up high and let the mixture come to boiling point and boil for 5-7 minutes stiring constantly so that the mixture doesn’t catch. BE CAREFUL as the mixture is VERY hot and can burn you if it splashes back!

• The mixture will be ready when it has changed to a slightly darker golden colour, and has thickened to a soft fudge texture!

• Pour the caramel onto the shortbread base and leave to set for an hour in the fridge.

• Once set, melt the milk chocolate and pour over the caramel.

• Chill the Shortbread back in the fridge for another 1-2 hours until the Chocolate has gone hard.

• Chop your Shortbread into the separate pieces and enjoy!
