Millionaires Shortbread

This is my most favourite ‘sweet’ recipe from Mary Berry(OoOoh I love that gal :))Make it! you will be sooo popular 🙂...and make sure you send me some! 😉

INGREDIENTS

For the base

  • 225g plain flour
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 225g butter
  • 100g semolina

For the topping

  • 175g butter
  • 175g caster sugar
  • 4 tbsp golden syrup
  • 1 x 397g can condensed milk
  • 200 g dark chocolate, broken into pieces

    Method

    1. Set the oven to 160C/gas2. Lightly grease a 20cm x 33cm oblong/ Swiss roll tin.

    2. Place all the ingredients for the base into a food processor and
    whizz together until they form a smooth dough (if preferred this can be
    done by hand in a bowl).

    3. Press the mixture into the base of the Swiss roll tin and prick
    with a fork. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until golden and firm. Set
    aside to cool.

    4. To make the topping, place the butter, sugar, syrup and condensed
    milk into a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the butter has
    melted.
    5. Bubble the mixture gently for five to eight minutes, stirring all
    the time until thick and fudge-like. Pour over the cold shortbread in
    an even layer. Leave to cool.

    6. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. 

    7. Pour the chocolate over the toffee and leave to set. Cut into small squares and store in an airtight tin.

    ENJOY

    Oooh, my favourites. They are sooo scrumptious. You can buy cansof Dulce de leche from Sainsbury's, etc to make the whole caramel boiling and faffing bit easier. I'm LOVING your lovely blog.

    Hi Happy, We call that 'Chocolate Caramel Slice'down under and I used to make it and sell it at the local markets with my other home-baked goods- before everything became so official regarding selling food. I also made a 'Peppermint Choc Slice' that was popular too. If you'd like to see my mega choc cake see here: http://delcie-teapartyland.blogspot.com/2010/08/mega-chocolate-cake.html

    Ag! I love those things!When I first came across them in Devon the caterer who made them for our Guide company called them 'Wellington Slices'. I don't know why. In France they are cut up very small, because the French don't have our sweet tooth, and called 'sables eccossaises' which means Scottish shortbread.So thanks for the recipe and I may just be trying it myself for the first time…

    Yummmmmy! I must try some soon. I have a friend who is a chef and she makes what we have called "billionaires brownies" – same thing but on a brownie base instead of shortbread. DEEEEELICIOUS!
