Millionaire’s Shortbread, composed of a bottom layer of rich butter dough, a top layer of milk chocolate, and a thick middle layer of caramel, is a favourite in the U.K. This luxury version of the squares won a baking contest! The bonus is they’re easy to make ♥

“…perfect for dunking, they would soak up a little coffee softening just enough to achieve a perfect texture & for the flavours to mingle on and tantalize my taste buds…” this was my pleasure upon discovering biscotti when I first visited Italy. Fabulous & so simple to make, even for a novice cook!

One of my favourite English traditions is an elegant afternoon tea, where fine English tea is served in the best porcelain cups, accompanied by tiny finger sandwiches and dainty buttery pastries. These heavenly “petits gâteaux” are worthy of traditional afternoon teas!

Contrary to what you may believe, caramelising sugar & making caramel is easy. You don’t even need a candy thermometer! Follow my step-by-step instructions for making this rich amber delight, and enjoy! Click on the photo or title for details.
