Crispy, buttery shortbread, layered with ooey, gooey caramel, and chocolate. Sounds delicious right? Then you need to make this traditional Sottish recipe, Millionaire Shortbread!
Ingredients
Shortbread:
-
5 1/2 (680g) All-purpose Flour
-
1 cup (200g) Sugar
-
2 cups (454g, 4 sticks) Salted Butter, softened
Caramel:
-
1.5 cups (3 sticks) Butter
-
1.5 cups (12oz) Sugar
-
6 Tbsp Lyle's Golden Syrup
-
1 can (14oz) Condensed Milk
Topping:
-
1-2 cups (8-16oz) good quality Chocolate
-
Sea Salt
Directions
- Mix the butter and sugar together, but DO NOT CREAM them.
Add the flour and mix. It will be a stiff consistency. Don't overwork the dough; stop when it just comes together.
Press the dough into a parchment lined 10"x15" baking sheet. Bake for 15-30 minutes. Bake until the shortbread is just starting to brown on the edges. Let cool in the baking sheet.
Put the butter, sugar, Golden Syrup and condensed milk in a heavy bottomed pan and heat to bubbling, then simmer, stirring constantly, until thick and golden brown in color (about 30 mins).
Pour caramel over cooled shortbread, and set aside to cool.
Once your caramel is cooled and set place your chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals. Stir in between until melted.
Pour melted chocolate over the set caramel. Sprinkle with sea salt and let cool, you can place the sheet in the fridge until the chocolate is set.
Cut into pieces and enjoy!
