I want to make millionnaire's Shortbread...

[SoupDragon]

I have no syrup Can I use honey instead or do I have to cart the SmallDragons off to Waitrose?

I think the SmallDragons may welcome the distraction!

The toffee bit is funny stuff. Bit temperamental ime....
I would not risk the honey personally but then, I'm the sort of cook who stands there taking out and putting in tiny amounts of flour until its j...u..s...t right.

Ooh is there a recipe somewhere?

Recipe pleeeeeease

I would say go for it with the honey - but then its not me eatin em

i don't use syrup in mine the filling is made with condensed milk, brown sugar and butter ...

recipe with syrup in www.recipeland.com/recipe/45378/ they are very yummy

For the base
225g plain flour
100g caster sugar
225g butter
100g Semolina
Topping
175g butter
175g caster sugar
4 tbsp golden syrup
1 x 397g can condensed milk
200g plain chocolate, broken into pieces

Method

1. Set the oven to 160C/gas2. Lightly grease a 20cm x 33cm oblong/ Swiss roll tin.

2. Place all the ingredients for the base into a food processor and whizz together until they form a smooth dough (if preferred this can be done by hand in a bowl).

3. Press the mixture into the base of the Swiss roll tin and prick with a fork. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until golden and firm. Set aside to cool.

4. To make the topping, place the butter, sugar, syrup and condensed milk into a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the butter has melted.

5. Bubble the mixture gently for five to eight minutes, stirring all the time until thick and fudge-like. Pour over the cold shortbread in an even layer. Leave to cool.

6. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.

7. Pour the chocolate over the toffee and leave to set. Cut into small squares and store in an airtight tin.

[sigh] I guess I'll have to go to waitrose. I've only ever made it with syrup in the caramel.

The recipe is in my Domestic Goddess book.

it will be worth it - there is nothing finer than millionaire's shortbread ...

The only thing finer would be calorie and fat free millionaire;s shortbread.

True...true....

Sorry about your excursion soupy. Am sure the BabyDragons will enjoy it.
Thanks for recipe.
Don't have condensed milk so luckily for my fat tummy I can't make it.

i am available to come round and check they taste ok if you like

oh how odd ,I've just made that with the DC!

Soupy, how far is Waitrose? Surely a brisk walk to raise the heart rate pushing a child and syrup laden buggy will burn sufficient calories to justify a slice?

Too late Tutter. I'm already at the door

It's definitely a car drive away because it's uphill and I'm lazy and fat from eating too much cake.

you wouldn't take millionaire's shortbread out of the mouth of a pregnant woman

would you mars?

Thankfully I am missing a few of the ingredients (although not syrup ironically) - my waistline is safe

Nope, you must be at some other Dragon's Den, Mars.

ahhh! i'm always after a perfect millionaire shortbread recipe.... as when i've made it in the past, my caramel has always been too runny?... have you condensed milk toffeee (a la banoffee pie) but it still is too unny....

any o
ideas? how to get that thick toffee...?..

tried nigellas... and this was a little grainy...
