    Method

    • step 1

      Preheat an oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F)
    • step 2

      Combine the flour and 75g light brown muscovado sugar in a mixer until well combined.
    • step 3

      Mix in the softened butter until a dough has formed.
    • step 4

      Press into a lined 20x20cm baking dish, and prick with a fork. If you don't have an 20x20cm dish you can use any rectangular dish. You may just have to make more shortbread, but that's never a bad thing!
    • step 5

      Bake the shortbread in the preheated oven for about 20-30 minutes (depending on the amount of shortbread you make). It should look puffy and golden brown when done.
    • step 6

      While the shortbread is baking, beat the egg in a mixing bowl along with 75g light brown muscovado sugar, maple syrup, and pecans.
    • step 7

      Pour the pecan mixture over the hot shortbread and return to the oven. Continue baking until firmed, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven, and immediately run a knife around the edges to prevent sticking if the mixture has got past the baking parchment. Cool completely, then cut how ever you like. ENJOY!

    It's in the oven at the moment. Some tips about how to know when it's ready would be very helpful to novice bakers like myself. I've baked it for the recommended time but it's still like liquid.

    This recipe has very strange ratios for the shortbread, too much sugar and butter. Also I think he may have just copy and pasted the shortbread ingredients into the topping ingredients section 🤦‍♀️ Why on earth would it have flour and butter in it? My final moan is that it's very stingy on the…

    question

    Is there butter in the topping? It is included in the ingredients, but not the method.

    I think they've just made an error and put the base ingredients again in the topping ingredients.
