Hey Gemma, Your recipe looks delicious. I went to Scotland last summer and tried millionaire shortbread and when I got back home my grandma sent me a recipe and I tried to make it. Soo good. I can't wait to try it again. I hope you have been well lately. I think I will make these for St. Patricks day.

I love seeing how different people make the same recipe. I recently also made this recipe but English style :) My grandma taught me the unwritten rule that your shortcake should be the thickest layer then the caramel again thinner than the previous later and the chocolate the thinnest layer, that way as a bar it's not too overpouring. God Bless from South Korea 🇬🇧🇰🇷❤️

For anyone who wants to make this recipe: I think 1 can of condensed milk + 1 or 2 tbsp of butter is enough for a 8x8 or 9x13 pan. I followed the recipe exactly (2 cans) and found the caramel layer to be EXTREMELY SWEET, even with salt added and as someone with a sweet tooth! I cant even eat 1 whole square with how sweet the caramel layer is. The shortbread is perfect though, but be sure to slightly underbake so it doesn’t get too crumbly! I baked mine for around 27mins instead of 35. It cooked a bit more as it cooled. For the chocolate, make sure to use DARK chocolate and add sea salt flakes on top! I used semisweet and even that was still too sweet 😂 So dark is the way to go! Make sure to score your chocolate before slicing so it doesnt crack. Thumbs up so others can see 👍🏻 Still so yum!!

"There's a saying in Ireland: What butter and whiskey won't cure, there is no cure for." I've found my people, culturally/spiritually if not biologically (there might be some Irish in our family, way back, but not entirely sure). That expression is absolute truth, 100%, and these squares look AMAZING. Will definitely try them. Thanks, Gemma!

It does not refer to coal tar used to fix roads and stuff, which isn't safe to eat. Pine tar has a pretty nice smell, too, but I'm not personally a fan of the taste

I hate cooking, but love eating sweets. This recipe looks like the easiest thing to make, and the most delicious thing to eat...I’ve bookmarked the recipe, and will make it this Sunday 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Update: It’s Sunday evening, and I’m finally enjoying the fruits of my labors, and let me tell you....oh...my...GOSH!! These are freaking delicious!!! It was super easy, although fairly time-consuming, but bear in mind, I’m not used to baking at all. Having, sadly, been born without the cooking gene, I’m the sort who adheres literally to the recipe. It came out exactly how it should 👍🏻. I will say, mind you, that, after 35 minutes of stirring the caramel mixture, I discovered that I actually needed to turn up the temperature to “medium”. My stove top is is the glass-top electric sort. Had I not done that, I fear I’d still be standing there, stirring it! Anyway, my husband and I are thoroughly enjoying them!

No technically your pregnant for 40 weeks. Which is 10 months. The US says 9 months but it's the same

It's interesting that you mention it being called caramel squares in Australia because I had never seen or heard of this dessert until I was living in England. We have caramel slice which is almost the same but has a biscuit crumb base rather than a shortbread base.

Yum! I love Ireland🤗💚🍀🍫 I used to make plain shortbread all the time as a kid. We didn't have much money and there were 7 of us in an old farmhouse. My mom was sick so dad worked alot. This was one of the easiest and cheapest desserts I could make. Never got to put anything on it and feel like a millionaire tho lol. Thankyou!🤘🏼

This Millionaire's Shortbread recipe looks really delicious Gemma. I really liked how you were showing how to make the caramel for that Millionaire's Shortbread recipe. Normally, the way I've seen caramel made is with warm water and some powdered/ confectioner's sugar. But that technique works just as well.

This one is creamier because it has milk. Try it. You will love it.
@ludwigziffer68954 жыл бұрын
Hey Gemma, this looks amazing! Just wondering, if I'm in a country where I can't get sweetened condensed milk, how much sugar would I need to add to regular condensed milk to make this work? Or would the caramel just not work that way?

Love this recipe. Thank you Gemma. In South Africa, we also call this Millionaire's Shortbread. I think the only major difference is that our caramel is more toffee-like, or pretty much like the darker caramel in a Twix Bar due to the addition of golden syrup and castor sugar to the sweetened condensed milk and butter. One of my favourites!!!
