OH.MY.GOODNESS!!!! I made 2 pans of these today. I will admit that whisking each batch of caramel for about 25 minutes each was wicked because of arthritis. But...was worth every swish!! Came out looking exactly like your photos!!! I'm overwhelmed. EDIT..Is very dangerous now because I just learned how INCREDIBLY EASY it is to make shortbread! YIKES!!
Warning ⚠️ When making the caramel mine turned out really watery don’t be alarmed this is normal after 20mins of constantly stirring it will turn out thicker and more caramelised Hope this helped!!💖
Ty Mahida (:
Did you use golden syrup or corn syrup? Mine wasn't as caramelized and I used corn syrup.
Make sure to use golden syryp
@@kaylatrolio1218 I'll try it next time! Surprisingly enough, the caramel got deeper in color when I took it out of the fridge the day after.
@@rizaa7157 she said golden syrup
If this is a millionaire's shortbread, then I feel like twix is a poor man's shortbread.
Haha true, but Twix is pretty ace
Sally Dells my fav choc
lol
What do u mean by twin is a poor man shortbread? Please tell me. CONFUSED AND IN NEED OF HELP!!!!
@@koalanoodle689 Millionaire's shortbread is shortbread plus caramel plus chocolate in cool layers and it is expensive to make. Twix has all the same stuff but in a different order and it's cheap and easy to get a hold of.
Why is it so satisfying to watch her cut through the chocolate, these look amazing!!!
Made these this weekend and my son has just had one. His reaction “oh my god mum these are the best things I’ve tasted in like ages” So I think they went down well.
Did you put your caramel topped shortbread in the fridge to cool?
Love this beautiful lady. A natural on camera and always so happy. ❤️❤️
You don’t have to try to top other recipes. They are all always going to be awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I'm so grateful to find a recipie for english measurements the amount of american measurement videos is well, immeasurable
Thanks for this wonderful winner Sally. The best millionaires shortbread we've tried. My grandaughter can't get enough of it. Thanks for all the lovely recipes you've been giving us. I have made many of them, and they've always gone down a treat. Can't wait for the shop to re-ooen so that we can pay a visit. Stay safe, Jackie
Shortbread is always a winner, can’t wait to make these
Did you make them?
Were they good
Great job, Sally! These are definitely on my list of recipes to make in the near future. You make the process look so easy. Thank you for your detailed instruction! Cheers!
Who enjoys watching Sally so much as me???
I swear i'll watch her make anything. Such a fan.
Just wanted to say thank you for still uploading videos while Jemma is busy with her baby 😁
Made this! Super easy and super rich! But it’s one of those recipes that you can’t stop going back for more! 🤤
I made this today, substituting some leftover clotted cream I made for about half the butter in the shortbread. Oh yum! A Christmas-worthy triumph. Thank you, Sally.
Looks so delicious. You guys are all great bakers, no doubt about that. But just wanted to say that you’re really good at this presenting lark too Sally! I love your natural and engaging style. Looking forward to many more videos even if I’ve just started a three month weight loss program! 😩
Made these yesterday and followed your recipe to a tee...perfection! Very happy family. Will now be a firm favourite 😀
I loved the method that you used to do the shortbread as it is a nightmare to pat down I thought the lemon meringue cake was amazing last week , I like the idea of burnt butter . I would probably make it like a smoked burnt butter lavender shortbread with salted caramel and a caramelised ruby chocolate top. You make things look so easy 😃
Made these today and they are so delicious, everybody loved them:) Thanks for the recipe!
Gorgeous....your baking videos are always so inspirational.....my family really enjoys me watching you bake as they benefit in the long run.😁
Wonderful, one of my favourites to make. I was always told it was called millionaire shortbread because of the decadant caramel and chocolate on a Scottish favorite ☺️ Thanks Sally. Big hugs lovely 🤗
Hello From Oregon Sally! You and Jemma are my baking Goddesses! Love you both! ... These look absolutely to die for!!! I must make some ASAP!!! 😁💕
The name "millionaire's shortbread" appears to have originated in Scotland. The "millionaire" prefix to millionaire's shortbread or millionaires slice implies a level of decadence and wealth to the sweet treat, that it is an upgrade from regular shortbread.
Yet another great tutorial Sally and a fab recipe. Thank you for sharing.
Yess thank you for this video , just yesterday I was searching for a recipe for these 😍😍
I love CJ recipes and have made quite a few with great success, always adding vanilla paste. I think it makes a big difference.
You are doing a great job Sally with Jemma away. Slice looks amazing.
This cake looks amazing, thank you for sharing this inspiring recipe! 😍👍
Just made it and it came out PERFECT! with cracking chocolate. Thank you so much!
Love it Sally!!!! I'll definitely bake it over the weekend 👍Thanks Sally!!
you are so lovely and i can see that you are putting everything to make the videos great, thank you Sally, your effort can be seen in every video
Yayyyy!!!! Love that the channel is thriving with Sally.
But don’t you miss jemma
She has taken over the channel. Not like that’s bad tho
Wow permanently? I didn’t know lol
@@caitlinnixon9092 not forever haha, it was a joke because Sally is basically babysitting the channel until Jemma can come back because I think she has to stay and take care of her baby
Ohh ok, I thought you meant forever lmaoo
Aww Hi lovely Sally. These are perfect as always. I'm so in the kitchen making these this weekend. Naughty but nice. Thank you for sharing, you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. I love it
Thank you I am really enjoying all the baking lessons. You have a lovely natural personality.
I love this recipe, so many great memories come with it! It’s so indulgent and rich which is why it’s called millionaire shortbread!
For some reason I really like watching people make millionaire’s shortbread :D looks delicious 😋
I've been making caramel squares (that's what we call them here in Northern Ireland) for around 7 years now, and as much as people love them, I gotta admit that Sally's look amazing! That caramel looks to die for! I for sure have to try this recipe out when I get back to work. They look so tasty!
It look so good I'm definitely gonna make this and I can't wait to try it thank you for the recip🧁🧁🍰🍰🍰🎂🎂🎂
Hi Sally just wanted to come on here and say thank you for all the work you have been putting in! Love the videos x just wanted to ask how are you doing in lockdown and how you've been staying sane?!
I made this and it came absolutely perfect and delicious. Thanks for this amazing recipe
Making this for our sweets buffet at my wedding tomorrow. Thank you for the recipe.😁
Thanks for one of the week's highlights!
This is truly the best millionaires shortbread recipe out there!! The shortbread is so crumbly and buttery, the caramel is perfectly decadent and sweet, and the milk chocolate compliments all the flavours beautifully. Thank you so much for this!! 💗💖
Thanks Sally for another great video! One to try when weather not so hot!
I literally have never been this early. Thank you ever so much, Sally!
Great new way of making the caramel/toffee!
I love these recipes not to complex not to easy
I made the shortbread according to this recipe 4 times now and every time it came out fantastic. Finally made the full millionaires shortbread recipe and it turned out mind-blowingly good. It is incredibly rich but worth every bite. Thank you for the tips and recipes! Made in Arizona USA.. just a little too for to travel to try yours.
Im ready to make this,wonderfully illustrated.made step by step and of course beautifully made.keep up the good work gemma.i cant wait to make these.👌👌👌👌
Such a lovely informative instructor Sally , thanks for your precision when presenting and pleasant demeanour. Rajeeve NZ
I will for sure be making this❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Sally and Jemma.. made these last night n it was an absolute hit.. Ughh so yum.. everyone has been raving about it all day.. thank you for making me an instant star in the house hold. Love from India.❤️
I love to make this as you don't get it where I live. I tried the condensed milk caramel and is too sweet for me, I actually changed it to Jemma's caramel recipe, I let it get a little darker which complements the sweet chocolate 😊💕 So delicious!!!
These look amazing, Im making them tomorrow after going shopping
Well done Sally, you are doing amazing as always. They look fantastic. Really appreciate how you are innovating and adapting during this difficult time as a business. Have bought 4 cookie boxes to show my support. Well done. The shortbread looks fantastic and I will be trying this - not on the hottest day of the year.. Probably over the weekend. Thanks and respect to you and all the team.
Hey! Thank you so much for your support!! xx
Ohhhh hell yah! I’m making this today. Been on a diet, but one of these won’t kill me and I’ll give the rest as gifts
we always say "one"... hahaha
Did you stop at one😂? If you did then good girl and if you didn't then that's good too😉
I need to know did u stop at 1
Good luck at stopping at one!!! Only way I could do that is to take the rest to my son & HIS family! IMMEDIATELY! Which is what I did. 🤣🥰
love it. short bread is amazing , not the biggest fan of caramel but you make it so nicely i will give it a go
Seriously, people, could Sally be any more adorable? What a personality! She and Jemma are helping me through the COVID and I am SO grateful! 💕
I fully agree 🥰🥰 it is amazing how I really appreciate both sally and Jemma 😘
Thank u so much for sharing this recipe I just made it and for the first time ever did my tempered chocolate turn out.. u guys are the Best..
Made this yesterday, so easy to follow instructions and tastes so so good :-) Never made caramel or tempered chocolate before, couldn't believe how easy it was :-)
extra clumsy Sally on this one. Loved it! You always nail it!!
I made this earlier today and it was a hit! I was worried because I used light corn syrup instead of golden syrup but it was delicious. Thanks!
I've made this 3 times now and can honestly say it's a bit too good. Great recipe and demo, really good, appreciate it, thank you.
Just love your videos, simplified recipes with your passion makes me want to bake.
hey cupcake jeema and sally loving the millionaires shortbread looks so so yummy lots off love xxxxx
I am thrilled beyond words at how amazing these are! I had a recipe years ago that I loved and couldn’t find. Did a reputable recipe over the weekend which was horrid. Searched and came up with yours. I did 1 1/2 times the recipe for a 9 x 13. Everything else is the same. I live in Ohio in the US. I happen to still have some golden syrup from a visit to family in London. Will have to get more because I can’t imagine not using golden syrup. Heaven, heaven, heaven, thank you
Just made this, it was absolutely amazing! Definitely recommend everyone tries this
How did you shortbread layer come out? Was it hard as in too hard?
These look so delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Nice clear and straight to the point instructions!. Thumbs up👍. My first millionaire shortbread was delicious thanks very much😊
Perfect. Thank you!
It is scary to try to beat your lemon merengue! Thank you for this delicious recipe. I can't wait to try it, it's all about the desserts for me!
It definitely lives up to your previous video keep up the good work
It looks so good!
Another super video Sally! Much love to all at crumbs x
I've never heard of millionaires shortbread before, and it looks amazing! 💕
You have never lived until you’ve ate one! They do amazing ones at costa coffee’s, definitely would recommend it :)
Another great recipe, and excellent job on your part, Sally.
Looks soooo yummy!!!! Can’t wait to try it. More than the recipe I love your sweet expressions..... love you 😍 always
Another yummy bake ❤️ thanks Sally 🙂
You brighten my day.. always so happy. 😀
This looks so good! 😍
My birthday is coming up soon and I was looking for exactly something like this to celebrate it. Thanks 😊
@777dotster I know I’m 9 months late but, happy Birthday! 😂🥳🎂
Millionaires Shortbread is my Favourite Treat Ever and it has been since I was a kid
My mouth was watering this whole video 🤤 I will definitely try it out 💖
I made these and had some issues, however the end result was still delicious. I followed the recipe exactly and found my shortbread was too crumbly. I also cooked my caramel 20 minutes, trying for the same color as shown, but at 20 mins the color wasn't as burnished and it was much thicker than the consistency seen in the video, so my caramel layer was much too chewy (and yes, I used Golden Syrup - it's a staple in my Irish hubby's pantry). Next time, because we will baking these again, I'll focus on the consistency shown in the video for the shortbread and caramel vs the exact measurements and/or timing. Also, the shortbread recipe is the closest to Walkers Shortbread I've found, and I've tried a lot. Excellent overall. Thank you for sharing this! It's a new family favorite.
I made these today without the caramel part. Its delicious!
Thank you very much for the lovely content and recepies 😁❤️ Can you show us how to make cream caramel?
Mmmmmm cant wait to try making these ...keep the ideas coming!
Aww yeah. Making these bad boys today! Cupcake Jemma recipes never fail me! 😄
OMG! Never mind! Congrats Jemma! That was fast. Feels like yesterday she announced she was pregnant
I am drooling so bad right now!! Yum!
This must taste so dreamy.
3th time when I am doing this recipe and and the time are coming amazing, thanks!
Thanks for all the great easy to follow recipes and fun presentation, off to find the lemon meringue cake, x
From my research, I think that it is called a ‘millionare’s’ shortbread because of how rich it is!
It’s a traditional Scottish biscuit, and yes, it was named after milionaire’s for its richness AND to kind of elevate it as a luxury saved for special occasions. Scotland was once very poor, especially after the failed Darien Scheme which ultimately led to the Act of the Union (1707) and the birth of what we now know as the UK, and looking at photos of the Glasgow slums that existed right up until WW2 and lesser so until 1960, coupled with how life and the world changed during the industrial revolution and days of the Empire, according to literature and accounts of the times. Sorry, I’m just stoned and Scottish and full of lots of such information. 🤷♂️🤣
@@UmBungo yeah
Love your recipes
Wow. Making that right now. And she's such a nice person.
That chocolate tempering thing reminded me of Claire from the BA test kitchen.
Just need to say Sallydells is doing an amazing job! This millionaire's shortbread is going to be heavenly... I also miss Jemma and her sunshine.. Xoxo
Goddammit, that looks so delicious. Thanks for the recipe, I was just looking for a millionaire shortbread recipe. what a coincidence ☺️
OMG I made this today and needless to say amazing 😊
