Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Millionaire's Shortbread.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and greasing a 9-inch square pan to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, sift the flour to create a light base.
Step 3
Next, add small pieces of butter and use your fingertips to rub them into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs—this is where the magic begins! Stir in the brown sugar, and then gather the dough into a ball.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to press this dough evenly into your prepared pan, making sure to prick the surface all over with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Step 5
Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is beautifully set and golden brown.
Step 6
Once it’s done, let it cool completely—patience is key here! While the crust cools, let’s make the luscious caramel.
Step 7
In a nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat, combine condensed milk, 1/4 cup of butter, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Step 8
Stir constantly as the mixture heats up, and watch for it to come to a gentle boil.
Step 9
Once it’s bubbling, reduce the heat and keep stirring frequently.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s ready when the caramel turns a lovely golden color and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 11
Pour this rich caramel over your cooled shortbread crust and place it in the refrigerator until it’s firm to the touch—this should take around an hour.
Step 12
Now, let’s add a touch of chocolate magic! Melt your chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently until it’s smooth and silky, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 13
Once melted, spread the chocolate generously over the chilled caramel layer, and return it to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
Step 14
Finally, cut your creation into bars, and get ready to serve these delightful treats.
Step 15
Enjoy every bite of your homemade indulgence!.
