Three parts to this one, so is not a one-pan slice!
It only uses half a can of condensed milk, so I decided to make a double amount (otherwise I would have half a can in my fridge until it crystallised), and have one prepared for tomorrow's funeral, and the other for the next day's shout at work. But, I started with original amounts...... I am tired!
Had no kids involved..... Master could barely help me make the instant pasta tonight, so thought this would be beyond him!
Base
100g butter, softened
1/4C castor sugar
1C flour
Cream butter, and sugar, then fold in flour. Press into tin (lined with baking paper), and bake at 170 for about 6-8 mins.
Filling
100g butter
200g condensed milk
1/2C golden syrup
1/4C chopped walnuts (optional)
Put filling ingredients (except walnuts) into saucepan, and bring to boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, stirring often, until mixture is a deep golden brown, and if you drop some into cold water it forms a soft ball. About 10 mins.
Take off heat, and stir in walnuts if using.
Then immediately spread over base, smoothing out if necessary.
Allow to cool.
Icing
1/2C icing sugar
1T cocoa
1T butter, softened
2T boiling water
Mix icing ingredients together, until smooth.
Spread icing over cold caramel carefully.
Doubling this amount of icing won't cover two slices, so I had to make about a triple lot.
Leave square for at least two hours, then slice as required.
