Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

It is important to have the bottom base even otherwise the caramel filling will not be even and you will end up with more in some places and not enough in others. A good indication of when the slice is cooked is when you see the sides shrink away from the tin. When rolling the top I roll the pastry onto baking paper and then carefully lay it over caramel and gently pull paper away and then trim the excess pastry. I use the Bushells brand coffee essence. This is perfect without any icing.
