To celebrate Afternoon Tea Week (Aug 7-13), what could be nicer than a delicious recipe for Millionaire’s Shortbread? Serve up with your favourite tea…

Makes: one 20cm x 20cm traybake
Preparation time: 35min
Chilling time: 1 hour+

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, Fan Oven 180°C, Gas Mark 4.
2. In the mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with the electric hand whisk.
3. Add the flour and cornflour and continue to mix with the electric hand whisk until a crumb consistency is achieved, then pour the mix into the lined tin. Spread it out evenly and push down so the crumbs form a smooth base, before baking for 15min.
4. Whilst the base is baking, put the toffees and double cream in the saucepan over a medium heat, constantly stirring until the toffees have melted and combined with the cream.
5. Once baked, remove the base from the oven and pour the caramel over the top in an even layer. Allow the whole thing to cool. Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave in 30sec increments, stirring between each time and then pour over the cooled base and caramel to form another even layer.
6. Place the whole thing in the fridge to chill for at least an hour – longer is preferable before removing from the tin and cutting into squares.
