Caramel Shortbread (Millionaire's Shortbread) Recipe

assalamu alaikum and welcome to titli's busy kitchen with me titli nihaan today i'm feeling naughty and when I feel naughty I do naughty things and today I'm feeling very naughty so I'm going to make caramel shortbread the first thing we need to do is to make the base no I meant the base for the caramel shortbread I've got 250 grams of plain flour 175 grams of soft butter or you can use margarine and 75 grams of caster sugar or sugar we'll do first thing we need to do is just mix together our sugar and the flour then we're rubbing all the butter to make a dough the reason it's called shortbread of course it because it used to be made by elves in the woods now what you should end up with is a dough which forms a nice smooth soft paste so I've got an 8x8 baking tin with a pop up bottom or you can use a Swiss roll tray or a flat tray push the dough in and spread it out evenly in the tin use a spoon to help smooth it out in the tray once it's all nice and smooth in your tray take a fork and prick the shortbread a few times don't ask me why you do this but all the recipes ask for it Tiggy Tiggy why don't you put the fork in the base what did I just say Punk now we're going to bake this at 180 degrees C for 20 minutes after 20 minutes the shortbread should be lightly golden and bit soft to the touch top though now we'll leave this to cool next we need to make the caramel so I've got one 50 grams of brown sugar yes you can use white sugar if you want to 150 grams of butter or margarine and a 400 gram tin of condensed milk begin by slowly melting the butter in a pan once the butter is all dissolved add in the sugar and a whisk to mix after a few minutes it goes sort of sludge like now just turn off the heat a moment and then add in the condensed milk whisk it in or whisk it whichever you prefer then turn the heat back on and bring gently to the boil while continuing to stir once it comes to the boil simmer gently for about 8 to 10 minutes to thicken up the caramel after about 8 minutes your caramel should be really quite thick now while it's still hot pour it onto the shortbread base then make sure you spread it evenly throughout the tin I like to use a rubber spatula for this now leave this to cool completely to complete my little naughtiness I need 200 grams of chocolate milk chocolate or plain chocolate white chocolate probably not so here's the plan Stan I've got a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water now I'll add in the chocolate and allow it to melt once you've chocolates all melted you've got a nice free-flowing liquid you need to work quite quickly so first of all remove the chocolate from the hint and pour it onto the caramel spread it all around while it's still warm make sure you're getting all the corners that's looking quite nice now here comes the magical bit see that it's got chocolate on it now it's gone buzz magic now I'm going to pop this into the fridge just to chill everything make sure that chocolates nice and hard once the chalkie's nice and hard it's time to pop it out of the tin just press from the bottom press bar she blow yes and it just slides up look at that now the best thing to cut this with is remarkably a bread life I'm just going to cut it into squares my soaring action does the job mmm yummy delicious because one of the things about doing this is you invariably end up with chocolate on your hand oh dear oh me oh my that is particularly naughty oh that was so naughty of me even Atari in Arizona knows how naughty that is and she's only two years old join me next time in titli's wicked kitchen naughty a busy kitchen with me titli nihaan until next time could happen
