METHOD
1. To make the base, place dry ingredients in a bowl
and mix together. Melt butter, then add to dry
ingredients. Press mixture into a lined baking tray.
2. Bake the base at 190°C until light golden brown,
remove from oven and, using a rolling pin, roll flat.
3. Melt butter and golden syrup together in a
saucepan, remove from heat and add condensed
milk, then whisk until fully combined.
4. Pour filling on to base until it reaches almost to
the top of the tray. Bake at 190°C until bubbles form
on the top of the caramel. Remove from the oven
and allow to cool a little.
5. Place all crumble ingredients, except nuts and
flour, into a bowl and mix well. Add the final
ingredients and mix until crumbly.
6. To finish, sprinkle crumble on top of slice and
return to the oven for about 10 minutes or until
crumble tips are light golden brown. Allow to cool,
then dust with icing sugar. Cut into slices and serve.
