How to Make Butterscotch Nut Slice
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8 x 12 x 2 inch slab pan and line with non-stick baking paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar using an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, self-rising flour, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a ball. If it seems crumbly, that's okay.
- Place the dough in the prepared pan and press evenly to cover the base. Use a rolling pin or the bottom of a glass to help.
- Prick the pastry all over with a fork. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Bake the pastry for 12 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- While the pastry base cools, prepare the butterscotch topping. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cream and flour until smooth.
- Add the chopped macadamia and brazil nuts, stirring to combine.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat and stir until the mixture comes to a boil again.
- Pour the butterscotch nut mixture evenly over the cooled pastry base.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the topping is bubbling and golden brown around the edges. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Let the slice cool completely in the pan.
- Turn the slice out onto a board, remove the baking paper, and cut into bars or squares.
- Serve warm with ice cream or enjoy it cool with tea or coffee. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
