It’s hubby’s birthday today. He loves millionaires shortbread. I’ve never made it before but I got the recipe from my mum and gave it a go.

The caramel is more like toffee even though I stopped when it reached 130 degrees rather than the 220 that the recipe stated.

Still tasted ok, just very chewy!

And it didn’t cut into neat rectangles!

Sounds ‘rustic’ Elsie so hope hubby appreciates the artisan baking you did 🤣

As long as they taste fine it’s a win in my book!

Hubby says the shortbread is brilliant but the caramel/ toffee is making him scared he’ll break a tooth!!

Maybe the writer was getting their centigrade and Fahrenheit mixed up.

Could be. That would definitely have been a better time to stop I think.

I might have to try another batch soon.

I made another batch, only let the caramel go to just over 100 degrees this time and they are perfect :-)
