MMmmm Caramel Biscuits
- 250 g cold butter
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1 ½ plain flour
- 1 c icing sugar
- 1 egg
For the Caramel:
- 60 g butter
- 1 x 395 g can of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
In the food processor – place the chopped butter, flours and icing sugar and mix well until crumbly. Add the egg and pulse until it forms a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 C. Roll out the dough to ½ cm thick and use a small round cutter to make circles. Place on a tray and bake for about 15 mins or until golden. Cool.
To make the caramel, melt the butter, condensed milk and golden syrup in a heavy saucepan stirring until golden and bubbling. Keep at boiling point for at least 5 minutes stirring continuously until it thickens. Cool slightly, (the caramel will firm as it cools) and then place a dollop of caramel between two shortbread rounds to make a sandwich.
