Millionaire Shortbread Recipe

As my Pizza making blog went down pretty well I thought I would show you my favourite snack to bake - Millionaire Shortbread. They are absolutely gorgeous and you must try them for yourself. So here's how:

Pre-heat the 180 degrees (Gas Mark 4) and line a baking tray/ tin with greaseproof paper.
1. Mix 200g plain flour in a bowl with 75g of caster sugar. 
2. Mix 175g of butter by rubbing the mixture into breadcrumbs (3). 

4. Knead the mixture into a dough and place on the baking tray.
5. Press the dough into the baking tray, prick the surface with a fork. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. 
6. Whilst the shortbread cools, mix 100g butter, 100g light muscavado sugar and 2 x 397g of condensed milk. 
7. Lightly boil until the butter is melted.

8. Stir constantly for approximately 5 minutes or until the mixture is thick.
9. Once the mixture resembles caramel poor over the shortbread and wait for it to cool.
10. Melt 200g of chocolate over boiling water.
11. Pour chocolate over the caramel layer. Let the shortbread set by putting in a fridge or storing in a cold place. 

Cut into squares and enjoy!!
