Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 4; 350°F). Rub flour, butter, and caster sugar together until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  2. Press into a 25 x 38 x 4 cm Swiss roll pan.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes or till golden.
  4. Cool.
  5. Melt butter in a heavy-based saucepan over a low heat; add sugar, golden syrup, and condensed milk.
  6. Stir continuously for 40–50 minutes. It should be golden brown in colour when ready to eat. To test, drop a little blob into a bowl of cold water; it should firm up.
  7. Pour this caramel mixture over the base, and let it cool.
  8. Pour melted chocolate over the top.
  9. Spread the chocolate evenly, and let set.
