So DH suggested Banoffee Pie for our Christmas pudding ! Well I´d never made one before
so I thought I do a practise run...........
So followed the recipe to the letter, and felt rather pleased with the visual results !
BUT the caramel layer was way too hard
what went wrong
here are the ingredients (for the caramel layer)
175g (6oz) butter
85g (3oz) caster sugar
85g (3oz) dark brown soft sugar
397g can Carnation Condensed Milk
and the method
To make the caramel, place the butter and the sugars in a non-stick saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Add the condensed milk and, stirring continuously; bring gently to the boil, to make a smooth, golden caramel. Spread the caramel over the biscuit base and chill for about 1½ hours.
here some snaps - thought it looked pretty yummy -
So come on all you bakers - What did I do wrong
