A little hummingbird comes to visit at 8:21
wow great spot
I saw it too and now I know I wasn't wrong 😊
claire is a disney princess
Was going to comment this! Yes!
I was checking if anyone had commented on it yet. So cool!
I'm Scottish, and this is absolutely a favourite - you'll find it in most cafes and coffee shops, and we often make it for bake sales and things
It looks amazing, but I wouldn't say no to plain shortbread either.
same in Australia! We call it a Caramel Slice though
@@c8graphy I have an English cookbook from the early 1970s that calls it Caramel Cakes - not sure when the Millionaires Shortbread name happened!
and tell me, do they top it this sweet dessert with flaky salt lol Who salts their desserts?
@@c8graphysame in New Zealand :)
i appreciate that Claire gives little tips/instructions like "don't pour the hot caramel over the hot shortbread or you may have a soggy result". my high school culinary arts teacher just printed out like half page instructions and sent us off 😭 i messed up our hollandaise sauce because the pot was hot when i put the egg yolk in, but the instructions didn't tell me if it was supposed to be or notttt
It should've said it in the recipe. Lol. You'll learn
Lmao your teacher really went "people do this for technical challenges on British bake off, these inexperienced kids will be fine"
oh that’s not…. that’s a big part of the recipe how did she not cover that
A tip on slicing Millionaire's shortbread from my Scottish grandmother (who was a professional baker her whole life). Lightly score the top of the chocolate into the squares/slices beforehand, then go back in to cut. You'll avoid the cracking of the chocolate that way and it will look neat.
Good tip.
OMG Hummingbird cameo at 8:21!!! You just know Claire is keeping those hummingbirds well fed, i'm sure the garden is gorg
Thanks for pointing it out! 😊
As an Australian, caramel slice is a national treasure and my absolute favourite. It's the first thing I ever baked myself
As an Australian, being confused why they don't just golden syrup 😂😂
@@lauraatkinson8749yes! In my family we always use golden syrup.
Sometimes the simple things are best huh. Very popular in NZ too.
Do you make ginger crunch slice there too? That’s my other favourite
@micah1754 I'd never heard of it before, but after a quick google, I have to try it. It looks delicious!
Now I feel like a millionaire! In Australia we call it 'caramel slice' and it's sold in slabs cut into 6 individual slices at bakeries everywhere! So good, it'll give me diabetes for sure. 🤗
(We use condensed milk too)
first thing i thought was "hey, that's a caramel slice"
New Zealander here! We love it over here (across the pond) too! ❤
i feel like Vinny's learned a lot, I would love for you to do an episode where each of the crew tries to follow a stripped down version of one of your recipes, probably cookies or a cake because it allows for a margin of error.
An absolute staple in my Scottish primary school. I have never clicked so quickly!
youll find millionaires shortbread everywhere in the UK its like finding a brownie or cookie in the US
It's something you'll see at a holiday dinner party in the US, at least where I live. It's so delicious
@@dookiepost Huh! I'm from the South, and I've never seen it 'in the wild' before. That said, it FEELS like something you'd be served in the South 😂
@@arghleblarghle South East Texas here, I make these for Christmas.
I use this recipe pretty much to the tea, because it's a very simple millionaire shortbread recipe. But if you take a cup or 1/2 a cup of salted peanuts and put it in a food processor and make your own peanut butter, and put that on top of the room temperature hardened Caramel. and then put the melted chocolate on top and it is delicious. It cuts through the sweetness of the entire shortbread and chocolate caramel mixture, and it gives a saltiness and a much needed It just cuts the sweetness down and it's amazing. But you have to make your own peanut butter. You can't use Jiffy or Smucker's or natural peanut butter. You just have to do it your own self.
I'm not opposed to making my own peanut butter, but why can't use store-bought stuff if the only ingredients are peanuts?
Love Claire's committal to not getting a big enough mixing bowl
Shortbread was the very first thing I learned to cook as a treat when my gran came for tea. We always used cornflour and flour to give an even more delicate biscuit that almost melts in the mouth. And now I need to make shortbread…
Peeped a humming bird at 8:20! Oh look, Claire’s making millionares!
Claire is so comforting
I learn something new in every one of your videos. This time it was the butter paper being used to put enough stickiness on the interior of your pan to help the parchment paper stick. Thanks!!!
Caramel Slice and Claire - two of my favourites together at last
Echoing what everyone else has commented before about how wonderful your videos are. Millionaires shortbread is a staple here in the UK and one of the first things I ever learned to bake so this video gave me some wonderfully cosy and nostalgic vibes. I always love how considerate you are of making sure to explain why you’re doing things and little bits to watch out for or be aware of. Cant wait to try this recipe with the vanilla bean in the caramel as it sounds like it just takes it up to the next level, thank you! ❤
Oh my hot lord! I’ve not heard of millionaire’s shortbread! I love shortbread and have been eating a little package of shortbread cookies in Costa Rica called Mantequilla every morning with earl grey tea and vanilla creamer. Your version would take my little morning routine to the next level. Thank you, Claire! ❤
this is huge in the UK as millionaires shortbread. 10/10. the more flakey and buttery the shortbread the better
To say Millionaire shortbread is similar to a Twix is highly offensive ! And I shall be writing a strongly worded letter !
Signed Scotland 😂
The one who said “Put it in your coffee” (referring to condensed milk) You my friend are a winner 🇵🇷. That’s what we love.
This is one of my favorite all time desserts. I’ve been hoping Claire would give this recipe some of her flair. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
I first discovered this dessert when I visited a friend who was living in Northern Ireland and I've been looking for a good recipe ever since. Thanks for covering this!
Thank you wholeheartedly for sharing the recipe, Claire ❤
everyone let’s celebrate it’s a claire upload
It always makes my workday when Claire posts a new video.
They are EVERYWHERE in the UK (or at least Scotland and England I can’t speak for Wales or Ireland, I’ve never been!) absolutely delicious. You can even get one-bite sized ones in supermarkets and big ones in bakeries or supermarkets. So good.
The chocolate spread is so satisfying
In Australia (where I’m from) it is called caramel slice, however it’s not quite the same. The base has coconut in it and it normally (well, in the best caramel slices, anyway) is thinner than what you see in millionaire’s shortbread. We also generally don’t use corn syrup in baking, either, so the caramel filling is slightly different.
We’re like the UK, with using golden syrup. Yum!
This reminds me of a recipe in my mom's Betty Crocker from the 60s for Toffee Squares. It is a Brown Sugar short bread and then you put the chocolate on top (we always put it directly on the warm shortbread and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then spread it) and then sprinkle with chopped walnutes or pecans. I remember them fondly.
One of my all time favorites....Thanks Claire....Cheers...
Millionaire shortbread is a favourite in my house in the uk. Quick tip if you are using vanilla pod in a recipe where you can’t use the pod skin (I have a shortbread recipe where I add seeds). You can add scrapped pod in to a jar of white sugar, shake occasionally and you get lovely vanilla sugar to use in baking ect using something that would otherwise go to waste.
I had these several times on my last trip to England, just lovely. When I cut any sort of brownies or bars, I usually use a buttered pizza wheel, I seem to have more success with that than with a knife.
Clair: Sweetened Condensed Milk
Me, a Brazilian: *neural activation* (for those who don't get it, we use a lot, like A LOT of sweetened condensed milk)
Also, Clair, remove the corn syrup from the caramel and the sugar, put chocolate powder (like Nesquik), or use cocoa powder and a bit of sugar, and there you have it, Brigadeiro! (check a recipe for correct measurements though)
I recently visited london and these were all over the place there, can't wait to try making them!
My mom would make this for the holidays, always my favorite.
My mum was Scottish. This wqs very similar to what she made, and looked almost identical. This was such joyous nostalgia for me
Every video is a masterpiece. Keep doing what you're doing!
in my favorite coffee shop here in Fortaleza, Brazil, they have a version of this dessert but with pistacchio
I’m English, this is my favourite treat! Served in every cafe’ and bakery.
My mom used to bake these every year for Christmas! So good!
I made these today for my husband's birthday, and OMG! So good!
Never been this early to a Claire Saffitz vid, obsession is real 🫶
I have this as a core memory of my childhood in Australia. I think they're still relatively common in cafes, particularly the more normal or older cafes.
OMG RINGO love a classic patterned tabby
In Australia, it tends to just be called 'caramel slice', and usually has more of a coconutty base, with brown sugar.
And I had one once that didn't have any chocolate topping, but instead a crumble/crisp mix on top, which was amazinggg.
BUT. I love millionaire's shortbread, the shortbread base is just 🤌🏻🧡.
Also, the new intro is gorgeous!
Australian here and I gotta say I always steer clear of a bakery that puts coconut in their biscuit base.
Thanks Made In. That baking slab looks nice.
Followed this today. Panicked about my caramel texture until the “I think my caramel’s pretty firm” comment. Turned out perfect. Thank you!
In our Vietnamese household we always transfer the rest of the condensed milk into a glass jar and refrigerate it. Every morning we make viet drip coffee and use condensed milk. :) leftover is useable!
The best cookie.
never really had these until i moved to the uk, super popular here! love your videos claire!
Thank you for this video.
Love LOVE the new intro that has ALL the cas!!
I love caramel slice
Tubes of condensed milk are a game changer. So much easier to store!
Wow, just last week I was checking if you had this recipe😱 Amazing! Can't wait to try it.
Ireland here, we definitely have these. My local bakery does a version with an oat base and finished with salt on top. Delicious.
From Wales and it is quite literally my favourite sweet treat.
I'm all about this. Claire just fueled my cookie addiction.
This looks amazing 🤩 I will 100% be making these. Simply divine x
Love the new intro! It's so vibrant.
You really can't go wrong with caramel slice. A crowd favourite and absolutely delicious.
(I've also never found the need to use corn syrup and my slices have always stayed nice and soft).
This is a New Zealand cake-tin staple too. We call it caramel slice or tan square. Instead of corn syrup we put in golden syrup.
I live in France and have several English, Irish and Scottish friends. They all love it. I tried to make it once and it was a total fail. Hoping you can save me. I actually have 2 pans of chocolate chip shortbread in the oven!
Looks delightful!
Us Aussies call it Caramel Slice !!!
love your videos Claire x
Definitely going to make this today. 😊
This looks very nourishing!
yayyy i was literally waiting for this
Had this shortbread in Ireland and it was beyond delicious! Now I cannot wait to make it myself :)
As a Brazilian, I chuckled when you said it's annoying to have leftover sweetened condensed milk. In Brazil we literally eat it out of the can 😂 (also you can use it to make brigadeiro ❤)
hi claire i just made these today !! they were delicious as a beginner baker this was a more fool proof recipe!!
There is a little cafe in my city (in the Netherlands!) that made a different version of this, where instead of shortbread, it is a version of a flapjack, mainly oats with honey and butter (and some more, but I haven't made them in ages), and I feel it is even better than with shortbread!
Actually, it's very easy to save leftover sweetened condensed milk, you can transfer it to a freezer safe container, it freezes really well. I don't know how common this is in the US, but here in Brazil, sweetened condensed milk comes in all sizes, so there's the half can, which is 198g (7 oz), and there's larger cans with 1kg up to 5kg cans. So I just by the 1kg can and save it in a freezer safe container, because it doesn't gets rock solid in the freezer, so it's easy to portion right out of the freezer.
Sweetened condensed milk is also a great topper for ice cream, or in the bottom or top of a milk tea. If you like Shaved Ice as a dessert, you can use it as a topper for that as well
Canadian here, and we call it Millionaires Shortbread as well. Soooo decadent and sooooo delicious. 🇨🇦
I love these. Make them for Christmas.❤
The hummingbird!!! ❤
I’m behind in episodes so forgive me if I missed this before… love the new intro
I so want to eat a few of those right now. Thanks for the video
Well done Claire. Loved the recipe 👏🏻👏🏻
Timing is everything - Just a few days ago I decided to make this (inspired by a GBBO episode), so this is perfect!
One thought I had was boiling the condensed milk can to create dulce de leche, but I'm wondering if that would change the texture of the final caramel.
Caramel Slice here in Western Australia, but yes much loved!
Love this! You would get a millionaires shortbread in most cafes in the UK!
13:50
Cafe Bombon also uses sweetened condensed milk! It's normally just espresso and sweetened condensed milk.
you were talking about jazzing up shortbread like with nuts...i make what i call froot loop shortbread cookies by smashing zest from one orange into the sugar before adding the butter and flour (i use chickpea flour for gluten free) and adding snipped dried cherries to the dough, rolling into 1" balls, rolling the balls in sugar, and squashing them to 0.5" to bake. i've never heard of millionaire shortbread or caramel squares, but i'll try adding caramel and chocolate to jazz up my shortbread next time i bake!
My sister made these once although she was following a recipe for a homemade twix bar, they were absolutely delicious though I think I will have to give this one a try thanks Claire.
Best ones I ever had are at Stargazy in south Philadelphia! Stoked to try and make some
It's one of my favorites!!!
Looks amazing!!!
I requested these in another video! Not sure if u did it bc of me but thanks! I’m a professional chef from chicago and love your videos.
Millionaires shortbread is one of my favorite things to bake. I use the sheerest amount of chocolate excuse the cookie and caramel are the best part. ❤
I love how she uses the word “easy “….I make this on a regular. And …it’s simple !
But it’s not easy…..but very worthwhile 😀
What do you consider the difference between easy and simple, serious question
I am someone with such a sweet tooth and love this dessert, though it is one of the few where I can only have a smallish piece because of how sweet and rich it is. Delightful stuff.
I just love that Ringo has his own theme music.
I looove shortbread! This looks delish
Its just called caramel slice in NZ - and can be found in pretty much every bakery.
My being in the UK, we most definitely do have this, it's a very common treat so it's seen pretty much anywhere you go, whether the bakery section at tesco, or some posh do party, it's a very popular sweet snack... :)
