Mothering Sunday perhaps you can make your Mum or your Gran some Toffee Flower Biscuits. These tasty little shortbreads will go down a treat. Toffee Flower Biscuits are based on my very tasty Millionaires Shortbread recipe a little bit smaller and not quite so much chocolate.
For the shortbread biscuits you will need
- 4oz / 120g Butter
- 2oz / 55g Castor Sugar
- 5oz / 150g Plain Flour
Makes approx 32 small flowers but it will depend on the size of your cutter
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
- Add the flour mix well
- Wrap in cling film and chill for 10 – 15 minutes
- Remove cling film and roll out on a floured surface until your shortbread is approx 2- 3mm
- Cut out small hearts and lay them on a baking sheet
- Bake at 160 deg centigrade/ 320 deg F / Gas Mark 3 for approx 10minutes until golden brown – remember when the shortbread hearts come out the oven, they will not be firm, they will firm up as they cool.
For the Caramel Filling you will need
- 2oz / 55g Butter
- 1oz / 28g Brown Sugar
- 1/2 tin (approx 200g) Condensed Milk
- Into a pan place your condensed milk, butter and sugar, gently heat, stirring constantly
- As you stir you will find that the caramel begins to thicken. Allow to become thick take off the heat and pour into a bowl, allow to cool
To make and finish your Toffee Flower Biscuits, you will need
- 25g ( about 5 squares ) Dark Chocolate
- 25g ( about 5 squares) White Chocolate
- Spread 1/2 of your valentine shortbreads with the caramel sauce and then place the others on top
- Melt your chocolate and drizzle over the Toffee Flower Shortbreads
Whoever you make them for I am sure they will enjoy them, my children adored them, as little bit of love from Mummy in the lunch box!
