    Hi

    This is my first blog post!

    I thought I would use this to introduce myself and my next post.  I am currently making short films and making cooking tutorials and posting them on YouTube as way to get my work out in the big, wide, world.  My dream is to be a successful film maker so why not combine my love for film making with my love for baking and creating? My hope with this website and my tutorials is that I will get my film work out in the world, inspire some of you to bake and share some delicious recipes that I love to make!

    I have always loved to bake, but over the course of this year I have been baking non stop and have discovered that it is truly a passion.  As I have got more confident in myself and my creations I can now look at recipes differently and see how I can improve them or adapt them.  I hope this becomes the same for you as you get more confident in the kitchen.

     

    Now on to my first recipe.

    Butterscotch Slice. Look at all that caramel....

    I have been making these bars non stop for the past month. I make them and they just..... disappear. Like magic!

    I think I must have little Elves in my kitchen with the taste for these bars. That's what I tell myself anyway....

    Ingredients

    • ½ Cup Butter, Softened (125g)
    • ¼ Cup Caster Sugar (50g)
    • 1 and ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour (192g)
    • 1 Pinch Salt
    • 1 Egg Yolk
    • 2 Tbsp. Milk

    Caramel Filling;

    • ½ Cup Butter (125g)
    • 2 Tbsp. Caster Sugar

    • 3 Tbsp. Golden Syrup

    Chocolate Topping;

    • ¾ Cup Dark Chocolate (130g)
    • 20 g Butter (1 Tbsp.)

    Instructions

    • For the Base;
    • Grease a shallow 9" tin and preheat oven to 180°C.
    • In a food processor, combine the butter, castor sugar and flour and process the mixture by pulsing the machine until the mixture reassembles fine breadcrumbs.
    • Add the egg yolk and milk. Process until the mixture forms a dough.
    • Press the dough into the base of the tin
    • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Allow it to cool in the tin.
    • To make the caramel filling, place all the caramel ingredients into a saucepan and melt over a low heat.
    • Once the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved, turn up the heat and slowly bring it to the boil.
    • Stir the caramel as it boils for 5 minutes.
    • Take it off the heat and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
    • Pour the caramel over the base and spread it evenly.
    • Allow this to set while you make the chocolate topping.
    • Melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan (or you can use a microwave).
    • Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel and spread until you have a nice even layer.
    • Let the chocolate set and then cut into slices.
