afternoon baking

 
i am currently enjoying far too much homemade caramel slice. thanks mum! i thought i would share the recipe below. i have never made it myself, i just come home to noosa and suggest 'we' make it. i feel it is going to provide me with much needed energy for when, actually if, i clean my car this afternoon. unlikely.

base 
1 cup plain flour, sifted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
125g butter, melted

filling 
400g can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons golden syrup
60g butter, melted
topping
60g copha, chopped
125g cooking chocolate, chopped

method
1. preheat oven to 180°C. line a 3cm deep, 28 x 18cm (base) lamington pan.
2. combine all base ingredients in a bowl. mix well. press into prepared lamington pan. bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until light golden. remove from oven. cool.
3. make filling: combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. cook, whisking, for 8 minutes or until golden. pour over cooked base. bake for 12 minutes or until firm. cool completely. refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, or until set.
4. make topping: place copha and chocolate into a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. stir until melted. pour over caramel. refrigerate to set. cut into squares to serve. makes 16 pieces.
