Millionaire's Salted Caramel Shortbread

Hello Everyone,

I hit over 2,000 viewers arghhhhh! So in response to that here is my recipe of Millionaire's Salted Caramel Shortbread, that always goes down a treat when I make it!

Ingredients:-

Shortbread

250g Butter

50g  Caster Sugar

250g Plain Flour

125g Cornflour

Caramel

175g Butter

175g Caster Sugar

4tbsp Golden Syrup

400g Condensed Milk

Topping

350g Dark Chocolate

Decoration

Line a tray and pre-heat your oven to 170c

Cream together the butter and sugar.

 Stir in the Plain flour and Cornflour, until it forms a pasty dough.

The best way to form the dough is to get your hands stuck in, the heat helps to make the butter soft so it forms, but remove rings and wash your hands before!

Once it is formed press it into the tin, using your hands to smush it to the edges, prick the pasty with a fork all over and bake for 20 minutes until it is golden above and smells good. Remove it and allow it too cool.

In a heavy base pan, put in, the Butter, Sugar, Salt, Syrup and Condensed Milk. 

Heat it gently but keep stirring! Don't worry eventually it will change colour!

Once it is all melted, bring it to the boil but watch out it is a molten mass that will spit at you and hurt! As you can see it attempted to fire at me too!

Leave it for 30 minutes to cool!

Melt the Dark Chocolate over a pan of hot water, keep stirring, so the chocolate doesn't burn and makes it nice and shinny!

Then decorate and refrigerate.

And most important ENJOY!

This version is really easy to do and is fail safe!

Ingredients

150 g Caster Sugar

55 g Brown Sugar

113 g Butter

1 tsp Almond Essence

96 g Flour

126 g Rolled Oats

64 g Raisins

1 Egg

1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Pre-heat the oven to around 190c, and line the trays (For the ones above I made 4 loads worth, but depends on the size. depths and quantity you want)

Method

• Mix both the Sugars and Butter until it has combined nice and fluffy.

• You then want to add the Almond Essence, Egg, Flour, Bicarbonate of Soda and Cinnamon.
• Once this has combined you want to add the Oats first, giving that a good mix then adding the Raisins. 
• Once all done simply spoon onto the tray (again all depends on how many you want to what size, for the about picture I used a tea spoon.)
• Bake for 7-12 minutes, until lovely and golden.
• Remove from the tray still on the lining to clear up that tray for the next load
• While they are still gooey you want to transfer them onto a wire rack (if you own one, my wooden chopping board does fine)
• And then enjoy hot or cold.
