Caramel Squares
Serves: 25
Shortbread:
100 Gram Butter (3 1/2 oz)
3 Tbsp. Sugar
60 Gram Cornflour, sifted (2 oz)
90 Gram Plain flour, sifted (3 oz)
Caramel Filling:
125 Gram Butter (4 1/2 oz)
90 Gram Brown sugar (3 oz)
2 Tbsp. Honey
400 Gram can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
1 tsp. Vanilla essence
Chocolate topping:
200 Gram Plain chocolate (7 oz)
Preheat oven to 180 C/350 F/Gas 4. To make the base, place the butter and
sugar in a bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in the corn flour and
plain flour, turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Press
into a greased and lined 18 x28 cm (7 x 11 inch) shallow cake tin and bake for 25 minutes or until firm. To make the filling, place the butter, brown sugar and honey in a saucepan and cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar melts and the ingredients are combined. Bring to the boil and simmer for 7 minutes. Beat in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla essence.
Pour the filling over the base and bake for 20 minutes longer. Set aside to cool completely. Spread melted chocolate over the filling, set aside until
firm, then cut into squares.
