Oh my god Wendy they look so yummy!!
Just for you..... I have made about 5 batches of it over the last week, trying to perfect it! Think I have cracked it!
Millionaires shortbread
Shortbread
12oz Plain Flour
4oz Caster Sugar
8oz Butter
Soften the butter and mix with the sugar then sieve the flour in and mix in slowly till it is all binded, dust your surface with flour and knead the dough for a minute or so. Roll Out the mixture to fit into a small deep roasting tin, prick it all over woth a fork and bake at 180 degrees til it starts to turn light brown round th edges, in my oven it take about 17 minutes but keep an eye on it cos it can burn really quickly!
Once ready, leave it to cool in the tin.
The Caramel
8oz Butter
4oz Caster sugar
6 Desert spoons of golden syrup
1 tin f condensed milk
Bung it all in a pan, and gently warm through til the sugar has melted and turn it up 1 setting on your hob and keep stirring til it turns golden brown and is quite thick.
You can't stop stirring it cos it with burn! I use a whisk when I am making mine.
Once it is ready leave it to cool slightly in the pan.
Once cool, spread onto the top of your shortbread.
The Chocolate Topping
8oz cooking chocolate
1oz butter
Melt in a bowl over a pan of boiling water then spread over the top of your shortbread.
once the chocolate has set heat a sharp knife (I usually sit it in a jug of boiled water) it just makes it a cleaner cut when you are slicing it up.
Then ENJOY! I am eating a peice while I am typing!
