This is not a fancy slice. Or a tricky one. It doesn’t photograph particularly well and looks much the same on your friend’s beaten up old chopping board as on a pretty plate. Because this one is not about appearances. It’s the go-to. The old school. The one your eyes follow if someone carries it into morning tea. The one that sells out first at the fete.

Method 5
Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F). Grease and line an 18 × 28 cm (7 × 11 in) slice tin.
Combine all the base ingredients (, , and melted ), and press into the prepared tin. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
Stir all the caramel ingredients (, and ) together in a saucepan over a low heat until the butter is melted and everything is amalgamated. Keep stirring for about 6 minutes, or until the caramel changes colour to golden. Pour or spread over the cooled base and bake for another 10 minutes at 180°C (360°F).
When the caramel has cooked and had time to cool slightly, spread with the melted .
Allow at least 2 hours to set in the fridge (see my tips) then slice to serve. Best shared with girls you adore if at all possible.
