There are some occasions where nothing but a full fat rich pud will do. My favourite is millionnaire’s shortbread BUT the amount of times I have wasted my syns on shop bought ones which just didn’t hit the spot.
Surely I could make better? Apparently, I can, yes! Prepare to be impressed…
Millionnaire’s Shortbread Recipe
- Grease and line with greaseproof paper a 20cm (8 in) tin. Preheat the oven to 170 C / gas 3.
- Put the flour and sugar into a bowl and rub in 175g of butter, clumping the dough together to make a ball. Press this sandy shortbread mixture into the tin and smooth it down.
- Prick with a fork and cook for five minutes, then lower the oven to 150 C / gas mark 2, and cook for a further 30-40 minutes until pale golden and no longer doughy. Allow to cool in the tin.
- Melt the remaining 200g of butter in a large microwavable bowl, then add condensed milk and golden syrup. Whisk the mixture well until the butter is thoroughly incorporated. Heat in microwave for 7 -10 minutes until boiling, stirring thoroughly every minute. It’s ready when it’s thickened and turned a light golden brown. Pour this molten toffee over the shortbread and leave to set.
- Melt chocolate and pour over the caramel mixture and leave to cool. Once set, cut the millionaire’s shortbread into pieces.
