I woke up Wednesday morning after election day and realized the US still didn't have a winner for the presidential race. I had a feeling it was going to be a long day (or week?! or month?!) and I was going to need a project to keep my mind busy. I've been wanting to make Scottish shortbread for a while. I headed to the grocery store which was surprisingly quiet at 7am. I'm guessing people probably stayed up really late and were sleeping late. I got some butter, flour and sugar. And I got some ingredients for caramel and chocolate topping.
It was a fun multi-step recipe and honestly I was too tired to eat it last night. We were in bed and asleep by 9pm! This morning I cut it up and wow is it rich and delicious!
I will say I am not a huge caramel fan and this caramel is too thick for my taste. If I used half as much it might be okay. But I am going to make just the shortbread next time without toppings. But all in all this was so much fun to make and it is yummy!
Here is the link to the Millionaire's Shortbread recipe I made. Gemma Stafford is Irish and she has amazing cooking videos on YouTube, too. Here is the video of Gemma making the Millionaire's Shortbread:
