Its widely called millionaires shortbread. If you Google that you'll get some recipes. In my experience making the shortbread can be tricky and you have to get the caramel. neither over nor under done - but delicious if you can!





Heres some links:Has anyone got the recipe for the biscuit for caremal cake you make with condensed milk?
One that I know:





Take a can of condensed milk - do not open - and boil in water for three hours. DO NOT LET IT BOIL DRY IT WILL EXPLODE.





While it is boiling get some biscuits [digestive or ginger nuts are best] and crush to a powder or whizz in a blender. Melt some butter and mix with the biscuit crumbs and pack into a tin to make the base; refrigerate! . When the milk has cooled after three hours open the tin and spread over the base. Put back in the fridge. Melt some chocolate and pour over. If you can bear to wait put it back in the fridge.





it is done. It is - as you see - not too good if you are on any form of diet and probably not too good for teeth but it is good...
Yep, make some simple shortbread


115g/4oz softened butter


55g/2oz caster sugar


115g/4oz plain flour


55g/2oz ground rice or fine semolina


Heat oven to 170C 325F Gas 3


cream together sugar %26amp; butter


add plain flour %26amp; ground rice or semolina. If you don't have either of these just use more flour. Work to a smooth paste.


Push into a baking tray or dish at least 5cm deep - the thickeness depends on how you like it. Smooth with back of metal spoon.





Bake for 20mins.





For the caramel you'll need a tin of condensed milk. Open and lace contents into a baim maire. (a metal or glass bowl siting on a saucepan of water) allow the water to simmer, not boil and stir the condensed milk reguarly. DO NOT ALLOW PAN TO BOIL DRY or let water splash into milk.





Don't be tempted to cook the caramel in the tin this will take 3 hrs of constant supervision and could exploded - ignore anyone who tells you to do this!


This is the time consuming bit, it will take at least 1 hour.


When milk has become thick and caramel coloured it is ready. Pour it onto cooled shotbread.





Melt some chocolate in bain maire or in micro wave on low heat and once your caramel has cooled pour the chocolate over the top.





You have made your Millionaire's shortbread





Make a coffee %26amp; enjoy :)


ps if you're feeling lazy you can buy the caramel ready made by the people who make condensed milk though it is a bit runnier and is better for Banoffee pie.
