How to Make Millionaire's Shortbread with Elle Simone Scott | ATK Cooking School

[@staciewagner7653]

I have wanted to try these for years. I have been scared though - but seeing it explained makes me less scared! I love how ATK explains everything. Looks so good.

[@gatewaysolo104]

I made them over Christmas. They were not difficult to make. If i had any self control I would make them more often

[@brendafain9962]

@Stacie Wagner. You can do it Stacie. It is a delicious candy and you will make a lot of people happy. It does take time to make, so give yourself at least five hours. I usually let the shortbread get a little darker. I like golden brown. I use ghirardelli chocolate. I wrap them individually and voila! Great little gifts. Go for it. God bless.

[@houchi69]

Made it the other day, incredibly easy actually. I didn't press down the cookies, didn't really have any problem cutting them, plus I didn't want the shortbread to feel dense. For the caramel, I will make sure everything is incorporated first, and stir constantly. Periodically is not enough. The mixture is thick, and it will burn very quickly. Also, I didn't bother tempering the chocolate, just melt the chocolate completely and pour it over, then leave it in the fridge. It still hardened very well. Maybe not a snappy texture, but won't affect the taste at all. Lastly, I sprinkled some flaky sea salt on top, and really made the difference.

gl with the tempered chocolate!

[@Colleen-w5o]

I love to watch this woman. She is easy to watch explains everything.

[@steveraglin7607]

Great hack for chocolate tempering -- using finely grated chocolate to finish the process is brilliant! 👌

Elle Simone is the best chef and baker!

[@TruthSerumBarton]

You are natural teacher and I love your approach. I’ve watched oodles of this recipe on KZbin, and you reign supreme!

[@jimbo0715]

This recipe has made me very popular with my neighbors!! I have added cinnamon to the shortbread - put in a layer of pecans between the shortbread and caramel - so many things can be added. I have made the caramel - several times - and poured it into glass canning jars and gave them as gifts. The caramel is silky smooth and can be spooned out - microwaved for a few seconds and spread on all kinds of stuff - or just eat a spoonful - it is delightful!! My next experiment will be to put it in the snowflake pans to see if I can make big squares!!

[@leapintothewild]

Great idea for jars! I’m thinking perfect for my homemade ice cream… ❤️😋

[@johneta7665]

Ms Elle~ talented, charismatic and simply beautiful 🤩

[@jayburris6252]

Thank you for mentioning the high elevation changes!!! Living at 8500ft above sea level makes a huge difference in cooking caramel and other candies.

[@debipowell9509]

Excellent video and instruction!!! Would love to see more from her!!!

[@interestedobserver9352]

Good job Elle - well explained and it looks delicious.

[@theburr]

So good! I like to add flaked sea salt on top to offset the sweetness.

[@Nancie_McDermott]

This was fabulous! I learned so much from Elle, and I’m ready to make this treat again, with wonderful results because she covered all the places things went wrong on my first try with a different recipe. Thanks, Elle and ATK!

[@asifsba1]

This ATK channel is now finally hitting its stride given that the show was how I initially fell in love with cooking.

[@mechellemaree]

This recipe always seemed so involved and complicated to me, so it’s never been added to the list of ATK recipes I want to try….Until today! The amount of tips and information you shared was fantastic. Thank you Elle!!

[@Pleebixx]

perfect teaching style. Thank you so much

[@a.phillips6892]

Loved this! Thank you Elle for this great recipe! I’m making this weekend!💯💯💯🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰

[@shannonmoore3481]

I made these twice, they’re really good reminds me of Twix on more buttery flavor. I’d love to see more recipes using sweet potatoes and more healthy recipes in general especially for two because it’s different trying to scale down!!!

[@trevorashton1750]

I finally tried these last month and they are one of the best baked goodies I’ve ever made. I’m so glad I watched this video - I live in a high altitude and did not know that water boils at a lower temperature here. It was taking forever to get the caramel tempered without burning, so I took it off heat about 10 degrees early because I was worried it cool off and be crunchy life toffee. The caramel is perfect! I may try adding pecans to the filling sometime to see how it goes. Perfect recipe!

[@alexanderivory-brown118]

THANK TOY ELLE!!!! That looks great!

[@michaellupu2080]

This looks fantastic! Is there any suitable substitute to the corn syrup? I really can't find any in my country.

[@ebick77]

Do you have rice syrup or cane syrup? Those should be interchangeable with corn syrup. You could try honey, but it might get a softer caramel consistency.

[@michaellupu2080]

@@ebick77 thank you for your insight. I'll check to see if these options are available to me. Honey obviously is, so that's good to know! I just hope it wouldn't make the caramel too sweet..

[@theburr]

Golden syrup (such as Lyle's brand) would be a good substitute

[@michaellupu2080]

@@ebick77 I just want to confirm something with you, if I may: when you talked about cane sugar, did you refer to a syrup one puts in cocktails? I found one from a brand named Monin. If this is the case, is it safe to use the same quantity of this syrup as in the recipe? Or do I need to increase/decrease the amount. I ask because I don't knos just how sweet corn syrup is.

[@ebick77]

@@michaellupu2080 - What you describe for cocktails sounds like “simple syrup,” which is typically a 50/50 solution of sugar and water. Corn syrup, cane syrup, rice syrup, or golden syrup are all much thicker than that - like a very thick honey. I found online that 1 cup light corn syrup can be substituted with 1 cup granulated sugar dissolved into 1/4 cup warm water - but it can crystallize and may not give you a smooth caramel texture. Corn syrup, rice syrup, and golden syrup will all prevent crystallization and are most suitable for candy making. But give it a try, and see what works!

I can only report my experience with America's Test Kitchen.. I went to download the recipe...next thing I know they want my email and phone. I really wanted recipe so I foolishly submitted it. Next thing I know I have "Trail Membership" and unless I cancel will start getting billed. I HATE this practice that is all too common these days. Babish has same recipe for free and no sign up necessary. Suggest you go there. I will NEVER use ATK ever again.

Hello Ellie can this recipe be done with a GlutenFree flour substitute ?

[@patrickmurphy4297]

...I have made this a couple of times...each and every time, I mess up the caramel sauce...I always scorch it. Is there any grocery-ready shelf brand that would work in this recipe? Maybe with some "augmentations" to the sauce? Any...ANY help on this would be extremely appreciated.
