That recipe for caramel is very similar to the recipe for something called “raw caramel” in Hokkaido Japan (they traditionally use heavy cream-or more bitter version with crème fraîche-and lots of granulated sugar, but can also be made with condensed milk). I made it once, using vanilla bean instead of extract and it came out great, and was so simple. I am definitely going to try this recipe out because I’m sure the chocolate and shortbread go well with the caramel! Thank you for sharing!

I like what you did with the caramel layer; making it very approachable. This one step makes this a very doable treat. Most home cooks might otherwise avoid making this recipe because of the long cook time of scratch caramel and hitting the soft/firm stage with out burning or scorching it.

I'm pretty sure that the name "Millionaire's Shortbread" is from Scotland. Also much earlier than mid-20th century mentioned in the video. My gran from Aberdeen used to mention eating them in her childhood in the 1910's and 1920's. I got told the stories every time she made them for me and my siblings. The origin of these is likely much earlier than that.

The condensed milk settled on the bottom of the pan and burned. There were large dark pieces but the butter was fine and no burnt smell or taste. So I used a tea strainer to remove the burnt milk and added another can and proceeded..im waiting for it to cool off in the fridge. The Carmel was very thick and tasted very good and silky. So far so good (I think)..lol..

This looks so good, I want to try it! Was kind of confused on the shortbread as it was made so completely different than I learned to make shortbread. There was no cornstarch in this recipe and cornstarch is one of the main ingredients in shortbread cookies. My grandmother's shortbread cookie recipe that I was taught was based off the recipe found on the cornstarch container. Same ingredients as the label but made slightly different. There was also no egg in that recipe. Dry ingredients were mixed then cubed butter mixed in, mostly by hand (like bread) as it was easier than with a spoon/spatula. I still really want to try this recipe

Had a Scottish friend who explored various USA flours until she got the right texture of the shortbread, along with taste so it matched her shortbread she ate in Edinburgh, Scotland. She found Wondra flour The canister held just a little over 3 cups that the recipe called for. So it was butter, white cane sugar, mixed, then the 3 cups of Wondra flour were added alternately by the spoonful along with 1/4 cup regular flour. It looked like slightly damp sandy beach soil. Texture felt same in your hand to. I always used a fork or wooden spoon to blend all together so you don’t overmix anything. In the States, Wondra flour is used to make gravies, it’s very fine textured. No cornstarch, no eggs. No extracts.No mixer. Hand mix.

I've heard it called redneck candy, cracker crunch candy, etc. I'd seen it a long time ago in a country cookbook, and more recently on two separate KZfaq channels: you lay a layer of saltines or graham crackers (you can actually use any kind of cookie or crackers, I made a shortbread dough with vegan butter and muffin miv), in a parchment or lightly oiled foil pan or cookie sheet, preheat the oven to 325-375, make a batch toffee with 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of sugar or brown sugar, pour over the crackers, bake, remove from oven, score, drop desired amount of chopped chocolate or chips (I was out, so I made a fudge glaze with cocoa breakfast powder), allow to melt, spread, separate if you can or cut very carefully. So easy and so addictive. Love the history of shortbread! ✌️

If you use Wondra Flour, you get the texture of real Scottish Shortbread. Didn’t catch how much flour used, but if around 2 cups then add about an 1/8 cup regular flour, alternatively about tsp at a time. This is a recipe done by a Scot from Edinburgh, Scotland, using American flours to get the correct texture. I love it! Give it a try!

1/8 c. regular flour and the rest Wondra to make 2 cups?

@juliewatson2281 Жыл бұрын

@@yhvh6487 a canister of Wondra flour has a little over 3 cups. In my recipe, it uses 3 cups of Wondra Flour + 1/4 cup regular flour. Then I think it’s also 2 cups of soft room temperature butter with 2 cup size of sugar which are mixed together first, then flours are added a tablespoon at a time alternately. IT should look like wet sand, feels like it too. Been looking for the recipe card, may have lent it out. Sticks in my mind though that the flour, butter , and sugar were equal amounts. So butter and sugar are probably 3 cups each also. It fills a big bowl and requires a large cookie sheet with a wide lip as even compressed the cookies are about a half inch or more thick, even in this very large cookie sheet pan. I remember the “3” because the canister held almost exactly that much. And the recipe was “uniform” too, 3 of everything, no eggs used.No extract either. And be sure to prick the entire surface of the pressed dough in the pan with fork times. About 3/8 to f inch apart for the entire pan. Always found it amusing that it took longer to create steam escape holes than it did to mix all ingredients together. It Baked 35-40 minutes in 350* oven I think. You want the edges turning tan or a very light brown, that’s how you know it’s done. Oven temps vary depending on the age of the oven, so I always did a 350* and watched for the color change to tan or light brown along the edges to know it is done. Pull ,set on rack, cool 3-4 minutes, sprinkle white sugar on top, light glitters off it, pretty, slice to size you want. Then LET IT COOL COMPLETELY DOWN IN THE PAN BEFORE REMOVING, then place in a METAL CANISTER WITH TIGHT SEAL, otherwise the Cooke will soften and lose its “crunch.” The cookies can last up to 2 months or so in the tin provided there isn’t always hands in the Cookie “jar.”

I have made this de-lic-ious recipe many times over the years, but after adding the hot caramel to the cooked base I have baked it again for 10-12 minutes, cool then put in fridge before adding the gorgeous chocolate layer, but I am definitely going to try your version! Yum! Thank you again for a beautiful recipe of this famous slice! ♥️

Really enjoyed making your version. Used the candy thermometer with the caramel but now that I see how it starts to pull from the sides, I won't really need one for next time. Also the chocolate turned out perfect.

Love the coffee idea, count us in! We roast our own coffee. We never buy our coffee treats anywhere because we make ours at home just as good, if not better, than Starbucks or Dunkin…hot and cold.

For less time buy a bag of caramel squares melt it down with 2 tbl spoon of butter half can sweetened condensed milk, if to thick add a bit of heavy cream or milk 😋

The best thing for me is thinner shortbread more caramel a few chopped cherries n chocolate....that's perfection for me. Oh also prick the pastry with a fork before baking. Love from across the pond in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ok so I just tried this! Came out just like the picture and best of all it's delicious 🤤 Though I will have to say it's very sweet. So I cut it into smaller bite size squares. Only thing I had to substitute was a simple sugar syrup since I did not have corn syrup for the caramel but it came out fine. The caramel layer is a little to thick for me so I'll probably half it next time. Again wonderful recipe. Easy and delicious 😋

Adding an egg yolk to shortbread dough is new to me, but I'm sure it makes the texture perfect for this recipe! I'm definitely one of those people who feels like chocolate overwhelms every other flavor it encounters, so I'll probably halve the chocolate when I make these. 😋

We we make chocolate caramel slice in Australia we DON’T Add an egg yolk to the shortbread. It’s just 1 cup plain flour, sifted 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup Desiccated Coconut 125g Unsalted Butter, melted

That makes sense! In fact I heard that this is actually butterscotch because it is made with brown sugar. Which I had a feeling butterscotch is Scottish. 🥰
