Millionaires or Caramel Shortbread! Sweets Lover! This for you shortbread: 250g plain flour 75g caster sugar 175g butter, softened For the caramel: 100g butter or margarine 100g light muscavado sugar 397g condensed milk For the topping: 200g plain or milk chocolate, broken into pieces 1. Pre-heat the oven to 180'C/Gas mark 4. Lightly grease a 13 x 9inch (33x23cm) Swiss roll tin. 2. To make the shortbread, mix the flour and caster sugar in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Knead the mixture together until it forms a dough, then press into the base of the prepared tin. Prick the shortbread lightly with a fork and bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes or until firm to the touch and very lightly browned. Cool in the tin. 3. To make the caramel, measure the butter, sugar and condensed milk into a pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, stirring all the time, then reduce the heat and simmer very gently, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Pour over the shortbread and leave to cool. 4. For the topping, melt the chocolate slowly in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Pour over the cold caramel and leave to set. Cut into squares or bars. This is the ingredients and procedure I used but my base turned out to be bit hard... Other base suggestion: Base: * 200g (7oz) shortbread biscuits, crushed * 25g (1oz) butter, melted Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and then lightly press the mixture into the tin to make an even layer. Chill for 20 minutes. I will try it again using other base suggestion

Malaysian Beef Coconut! Hubby bought some of this in Tesco and requested me to try it so I did. I just searched online for the recipe, since it was bit complicated as there are loads of spices, I just used the one that I can find in store and also found some alternatives.

Season beef with salt and pepper marinate for at least 30minutes 2. Blend all the ingredients that needed to be blend, until into a spice paste 3. Heat wok on high with the olive oil in it, stir fry the spice paste bout 2-3minutes, add coconut milk, reduce heat and bring it to gentle boil, stirring it often. 4. Add the beef and simmer for 10 minutes. 5. Add lemongrass stalk, lime/lemon zest, sugar and season with salt and pepper. then add the broth cube. 6. Reduce heat to slow and simmer it for 30-45minutes, keep stiring. 7. After 20 minutes add frozen peas and put the green beas on top or you can just steam this seperately. 8. When the beef is tender, the gravy thickens and oil starts to float, remove from heat and discard the lemon grass. 9. Serve it with steamed rice as usual ***1 cup fresh coconut meat finely grated or unsweetened dissacated coconut. in a dry heat pan, toast this in a low heat, stirring until golden brown.
