Caramel Crumble This slice is very like Tan Slice but just stirred together with no creaming of the butter & sugar. As its name suggests its topping is more crumbly but personally I like it better - to make and to eat! !
Caramel Topping: 1/2 x 395g can sweetened condensed milk, 2 tbsp golden syrup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 57g (2oz) butter. Mix all the topping ingredients together in a bowl over hot water for 5 minutes, then allow the mixture to cool slightly. Base: 1&1/2 cups flour. 1 tsp baking powder, 114g (1/2 cup) sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla essence, 114g (4oz) melted butter. Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the vanilla essence & the melted butter & mix to a fairly soft crumbly consistency. Press approximately two thirds-three quarters of this crumbly mixture into a greased sponge roll tin, then spread the caramel topping over. Sprinkle over the remaining crumble mixture. Bake at 180ºC for 20-30 minutes. Allow to cool then cut into fingers or squares.
