"The trick with butter based dough is to keep the dough as cold as possible, work with it as quickly as possible and to put the cut out biscuits on a completely cold baking tray (the colder the better) and then straight into the hot oven. They will not spread or get misshapen (or just a little)."

Chocolate & caramel flapjacks
39 comments
"As I cannot get ready made tinned caramel where I live (central Europe), I suggest using home-made caramel which can be easily made by boiling an unopened tin of sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan of water for about 2-3 hours (the longer the more caramelly it gets). Having used that trick several times before, I know that the resulting creamy caramel is quite difficult to get out of the tin once it cools, so should have no problem with setting. As for the chocolate icing, to cut it before it sets completely is a good idea. However, it doesn´t look as neat as in the picture. My advice is to use a sharp knife immersed in boiling water (and wiped afterwards) which partly cuts and partly "melts through" the chocolate. Hope it does the trick!"
