Ingredients
Base
- 125 grams butter
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup plain flour
- ¼ cup SR flour
- 2 tablespoons custard powder
- pinch salt
Topping
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 90 grams butter
- 125 grams roasted unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to moderate (175 degrees celsius, fan-forced).
- Grease a slice tin (approx 28 x 18cm) and line with baking paper, leaving paper overhanging at sides to assist with removal of slice later.
- Cream butter and sugar until the mixture becomes a lighter colour.
- Add egg and beat again until well combined.
- Fold sifted flours, custard powder and salt into the mixture to form a dough.
- Press into tin, using a sheet of baking paper on top of the mixture and the back of a metal spoon to smooth out the mixture in the tin.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a light golden colour.
- About 10 minutes before the base is ready to come out the oven, start making the topping by placing brown sugar, golden syrup and butter in a saucepan. Melt these ingredients over low heat and then bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3-5 minutes. (For a chewy topping, simmer more slowly and for less time. For a crunchier topping, simmer harder for longer.)
- Stir roughly chopped peanuts into the topping mixture.
- Once base comes out of the oven, pour topping mixture over base and spread out evenly.
- Return slice to the oven and bake for a further 5 minutes.
- Allow to cool before slicing into squares with a sharp knife.
