I am setting up to bake these now and noticed a mistake in your video. You said you need a “half a cup of sugar or 50 g”, half a cup of sugar is 100 g. I did visit your website for the full recipe, and it does say 100 g for half a cup of sugar. Just thought I would add that for anyone who isn’t familiar with grams to cups. Thanks for another great recipe! The shortbread crust for this recipe is different than the one I normally use so I’m very anxious to try it.

Don't like caramel so will try with just a little chocolate

[@rg8152]

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!

Technically, it's butterscotch. I thought there would be a bigger difference, but the only actual difference is butterscotch is brown sugar while caramel is white sugar.

[@joekoscielniak8576]

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.

[@noratameu8674]

Welcome 💥

[@dianeschuller]

Your way of making it looks like the best and what a good tip about using the sweetened condensed milk. I have a tip for you. Instead of using the spatula, use a wooden spoon. It blends it together easier and quicker, therefore you'll be working it less as you suggest for a better texture. Thanks again and I hope you like my tip 😉

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.

this looks amazing! I've been subbed to you for the longest time and I think I've made at least 20 recipes... they all turned out perfectly. I was wondering if you'd be interested in trying to make some Dutch confectionery. the Dutch kitchen is quite bland, but these things are like nothing else: - "Roze koeken" ("Pink cookies") --> small flat cake with a pink layer of fondant - "Gevulde koeken" ("Filled cookies") --> a small round cake, made of butter dough and with a sweet filling (almond paste) - "Stroopwafels" ("Syrup waffles") --> two round dough waffle halves, with diamond pattern, with sweet syrup in between - "Mergpijpen" ("Marrow pipes") --> bar-shaped cake made of cream, marzipan and chocolate - "Gevulde speculaas" ("Filled speculaas") --> biscuit baked with speculaas spices, filled with almond paste (very popular treat in December) - "Banketstaaf" ("Pastry bar") --> pastry consisting of almond paste and puff pastry (also very popular in December) - "Suikerbrood" ("Sugar bread") --> originally from Friesland, white bread with grains of sugar baked in (amazing with some butter afterwards) these are just some ideas in case you're interested in some typically sweet treats from the Netherlands. :) thank you for all of your dedication when creating these videos! much love, from Spain and the Netherlands

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

[@marciasloan534]

Would LOVE to see your recipe !!

[@juliewatson2281]

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 made these using the America’s Test Kitchen recipe, which has slightly different ratios for the crust and uses melted butter. They also,add a bit of cream to the caramel to replace whey proteins destroyed in processing condensed milk. And, their chocolate is tempered, not a ganache. It’s a great cookie, although I will reduce caramel layer next time, and probably increase shortbread layer.

Love the idea of using the caramel as candy, vs in the bar.

This recipe was the HIT at my 2022 Christmas celebration, and were eaten before my entrees!!! Just wonderful, so thank you John!! The response led to receiving your new cookbook for a Christmas gift. Excited to delve in and explore ( and to make the shortbread again).
