How to Make Nancy Slice

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 35cm x 20cm swiss roll tin.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 125g butter, 1/2 cup (100g) golden syrup, and 1 cup (200g) brown sugar. Stir until smooth and combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups (250g) plain flour, 1/2 cup (50g) desiccated coconut, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the melted butter mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared tin.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. While the base is still warm, spread the caramel icing evenly over the top.
  8. **Caramel Icing:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, 1/2 cup (125ml) milk, and 50g butter.
  9. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  10. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pourable consistency. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  11. Immediately pour the caramel icing over the warm base.
  12. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
