Caramel Shortcakes
OK now here's what I believe is the best caramel shortcake recipe I have ever used
Ingredients
THE BASE
- 4 oz margarine or butter
- 2 oz caster sugar
- 6 oz self-raising flour
THE FILLING
- 1/2 a large tin or 1 small tine of Nestle's Condensed Milk
- 4 oz margarine or butter
- 4 oz caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
TOPPING
Method
- Heat the oven to 350oF/180oC Gas Mark 4.
- Grease a 7" x11" swiss roll tin.
- To make the base, cream the margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Sieve the flour and fold into the creamed mixture.
- Press the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared tin and bake in the centre of the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- To make the filling, place all the ingredients in a saucepan, heat gently until the sugar is dissolved then boil for 5-10 minutes stirring continuously.
- Spread quickly over the cooked base and allow to cool!
- To make the topping, place the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water and allow to melt over a low heat.
- When melted, quickly pour it over the caramel filling and if you want your dessert to loook a bit on the fancy side, swirl ontop of the chocolate with a fork to make a design.
- Mark into portions before the chocolate sets firm and make sure you keep in fridge for up to 1 hour before serving.
