I made something similar today and covered the base with tiny chocolate easter eggs, chopped nuts, then coconut and finally poured over a tin of condensed milk and baked until browned. Cut into very small pieces - lol

elliehen - sorry to have to spell it out so you can understand it too - YOU ARE A PAIN IN THE NECK!
Now please go and play somewhere else - WE ALL have guts full of it!
I do not mind to give help and advice and recipes - BUT What on Earth are YOU giving to this message board? ?
I am so thoroughly sick of it - and so are (obviously) some othe posters ... so give it a miss please ... .

Is that the Royal 'WE' uli? As for the guts bit, I recommend a drink of Alpine tea ;)

I read that recipe, thought it sounded great, then read elliehens post about the recipe being wrong and went over and over it again and could see nothing that would make it bad, just because it had also been posted on a spoof thread, doesn't mean its not a good recipe, I was seriously beginning to doubt my own "read and imagine the taste" abilities, which I've always relied on before with recipes.
I did see that someone was confused if it was 3/4 tsp of baking soda, or 3 to 4 tsp, but I could see it was meant to be 3/4 so bypassed that.

uli, it seems I have done you wrong and you were seriously trying to help poster #1 and that you really truly believe condensed milk to be a 'lovely ingredient' and a cake you might bake one day for your high carb visitors.
I will sit on the naughty chair for five minutes and think about all you've said. But surely you're not trying to muzzle me? That's very undemocratic.

Millionaire's Shortbread from Taste Magazine Shortbread base 240g butter 300g flour 120g caster sugar
Topping 240g butter 240g muscovado sugar (yes it is the right amount l checked with Taste) 4 tablespoons golden syrup 1 can condensed milk
200g dark chocolate 70 % for icing on top
Heat oven to 180C Blend the base ingredients with a pinch of salt in a food processor, to form a ball To mix by hand, rub the butter into the flour, and then work in the sugar and pinch salt until the mixture clings together Press into a shallow time about 23cm x 30cm Bake 20-25 minutes until golden
To make the toffee, put the butter, sugar, golden syrup, and condensed milk in a pan and bring to a very gentle simmer Whisk then cook for a further 10 minutes until thick, stirring every now and then Pour toffee over the shortbread Chill until firm Melt the chocolate and pour it over the toffee, smooth with a knife and leave to set Cut in the tin Keeps for a week in the fridge ( it doesn't last that long round here, lol)

I notice that wine biscuits feature a lot in CM recipes. Anyone know how they got their name?

Got the answer - "There are two interesting stories behind this name and both go back over 100 years. The flour used to bake the Wine biscuits was packed for transportation purposes into old wine barrels. Also, the original Griffin’s family bought Wine biscuits from Europe, where it was customary actually to serve them with wine. "
