Millionaire Shortbread a.k.a Caramel Shortbread - Delicious & Easy!!!

Thank you for checking out my video

This is what you'll need:

Base:

• 50g - 1/4cup Sugar
• 125g - 1/2cup Butter/Margarine
• 175g - 1+1/3cup Self-raising flour

Caramel:

• 200g - 150ml Condensed milk
• 125g - 5/8cup Sugar
• 125g - 1/2 cup Butter
• 2 tbsp golden syrup

Topping:

• 180g - 6.5oz dark/milk chocolate

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4
2. To make the base, mix the butter, sugar and flour until it forms a dough.
3. Firmly press into the base of a 8 inch square tin.
4. Bake for 15 minutes.
5. Over a hob, mix the condensed milk, butter and sugar continuously. Do not stop mixing as it can easily stick to the pan. You are waiting for the mixture to burn to a light brown colour - around 5 minutes. Continue to stir after you take off the heat for a minute or so.
6. Spread over the base. Leave to cool for at least 30 minutes.
7. Melt the chocolate. Then pour it over the caramel. Leave to set for 3 hours minimum in the fridge before you cut into pieces.

NOTE: Using self raising flour, there will be some rise. You're looking for a small even rise NOT lumps on your base! If you use plain flour, be sure to prick the base as it's more likely to be lumpy.
