  • About

This brings back fond memories as my grandmother, who was a great cook, often made cakes and biscuits for family occasions, including these shortbread. It has a Scottish origin – traditionally, it is topped with milk chocolate, but we use fine dark (bittersweet) chocolate to balance the sweet caramel.

Ingredients

Method

  1. To make the shortbread, put the butter, flour and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and combine until the mixture comes together. Remove the dough from the bowl and roll out to 12mm (½ inch) thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into rectangles measuring 7.5 × 2.5cm (3 × 1 inch) and put into a 20-hole silicone chocolate bar mould
