I wanted to try something more technical, so when most people were relaxing on a Friday night with more than a few glasses of wine, I was busy in the kitchen. The result was Millionaire's Shortbread. I took this recipe out of an old fashioned baking book my grandmother gave to me. The shortbread and caramel was made from scrach and the chocolate on the top was melted dairy milk. This was the first time I had made caramel, and the only thing I was sure of was to keep stirring and watch it like a hawk. It really wasn't as difficult as it looks. One thing I will say is not to let it set too hard in the fridge as it was a nightmare to cut into bite size pieces. I think my caramel could do with some more work, maybe slightly less too but on the whole this was a great success and I received lots of compliments. I was even given orders to make it again as we have a great friend coming to stay near Easter time and she was most upset to have missed it first time round.
