BUTTERSCOTCH NUT SLICE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 deg F.
• Grease an 8” x 12” x 2” slab pan with butter, then line with non-stick baking paper.
• In a medium sized bowl, beat the sugar and butter together with an electric beater for 3 to 4 minutes, or until creamy in texture and color.
• Next, add the egg and beat until well combined.
• Sift the plain flour, self-rising flour and salt together over the butter mixture.
• Working quickly, use your hands to bring the ingredients together to form a ball.
• Don’t worry if it is still a bit crumbly.
• Place pastry in the prepared pan and press out to cover the base.
• This can be done, easily, by rolling over the pastry with a thick glass, and then using your fingers to maneuver the pastry into the corners and to the edges of the pan.
• Prick the pastry all over with a fork, cover with plastic wrap and rest in the fridge for 10 minutes.
• Bake pastry in oven for 12 minutes, or until firm and a light golden color.
• Put to one side and leave to cool.
• Cut macadamia nuts in half, and roughly chop Brazil nuts to a comparable size.
• Place the brown sugar and butter in a medium sized saucepan and cook, stirring, until butter melts and the mixture comes to the boil.
• Remove from heat and stir in cream and flour.
• Mix with a hand-held whisk until smooth.
• Add nuts and stir in well.
• Return pan to medium heat and stir until mixture comes to the boil.
• Pour butterscotch nut mixture over cooled pastry base, and smooth the surface to cover base evenly.
• Bake in the pre-heated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until topping is bubbling and becoming dark around the edges.
• The mixture starts bubbling fairly soon after placing in oven – don’t worry, but check frequently to ensure edges are not burning.
• Cool in pan.
• Turn out onto a board, remove paper and cut into fingers or square pieces.
• Serve warm with ice-cream, or cool with tea or coffee.
• Can be stored in a container in the freezer.
