Today I'm going to be sharing with you a recipe for Easy Millionaire's Shortbread! I say easy.. it does take a big of time and effort but the ingredients are all quite basic and you'll probably already have a lot of them in your cupboards. I made this a few months ago now and it was something I had always wanted to attempt but just never thought to do it. I gave it a go and it actually tasted delicious, so I wanted to share the recipe with you. I'll be honest I didn't get the best pictures of it and it definitely doesn't look pretty but really all that matters is the taste.
Ingredients: Shortbread
Ingredients: Shortbread
200g butter
100g caster sugar
275g plain flour
Ingredients: Caramel
Ingredients: Caramel
397g tin of condensed milk
200g butter
3 tbsp caster sugar
4 tbsp golden syrup
Extra:
200g butter
3 tbsp caster sugar
4 tbsp golden syrup
Extra:
200g milk chocolate
100g white chocolate
Method:
1. Pre - heat your oven to 180 degrees (160 fan) and line a square baking tin with baking paper
2. In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until soft and smooth
3. Sift in flour then mix until it starts to form a dough
4. Tip your dough into your baking tin and flatten down then bake for 20 - 25 minutes
5. Leave to cool in the tin while you prepare the caramel
6. In a saucepan, add the condensed milk, butter, sugar and golden syrup and keep it on a medium heat until everything has melted and the sugar has dissolved. When the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up high and boil for around 7 minutes. You'll know the caramel is done when the mixture has thickened and gone darker in colour
7. Pour over the shortbread and leave to set in the fridge for at least two hours
8. When the caramel has set, melt the milk chocolate in a bowl over a pan over boiling water. Pour over the caramel
9. Melt the white chocolate and then drop spoons of it over the milk chocolate. Use a skewer or sharp knife to swirl around
10. Leave to set for another 2 hours then cut into squares and enjoy!
I think this is one I'll get better with over time in terms of presentation but for a first attempt I was really happy! Let me know if you give this recipe a go.
