• Sugar – I take advantage of caster sugar because it’s basic for shortbread, and you employ it within the caramel as effectively
• Flour – plain flour each time, you don’t need any additional elevating brokers on this 

Caramel

The caramel, identical to the shortbread above, has had the portions decreased to suit the tin I used within the recipe, however the recipe is identical as my basic again to fundamentals millionaires shortbread. It’s important to dissolve the sugar and butter on a low warmth, in a heavy primarily based pan, after which flip up the temperature and boil for 4-6 minutes to make a thick and scrumptious caramel.

The chocolate a part of a millionaires shortbread is adaptable and changeable to what you guys desire. I really like the basic of milk chocolate and white chocolate swirled collectively as a result of it’s fairly, however you need to use no matter chocolate you favor.

I used this particular person cake tin that I’ve utilized in my different particular person cake and cheesecake recipes like my mini Victoria sponges and my mini lemon and raspberry cheesecakes, and it really works wonders. 

As a result of the shortbread and caramel is extra sticky in comparison with the opposite bakes, I did line the edges of the holes with a small quantity of parchment paper to make it simpler to get out, however usually it’s fairly non stick. I simply minimize out small strips, and put them across the edge. Pushing the shortbread down helped stick the paper in place.
