Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Line a 20cm x 30 cm tin with baking parchment. Rub the flour and butter together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs then stir in the sugar, vanilla and pinch of salt.
  • Tip the mixture into the prepared tin in an even layer, then press the mixture down firmly with the back of a spoon. Bake for 45-50 mins or until light golden brown. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
  • For the caramel, put the butter, condensed milk, sugar and syrup in a pan with a pinch of salt. Heat gently until simmering, then whisk for 6 mins until thick and fudgy. Be careful as the caramel will be very hot. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then pour the caramel over the cooled shortbread. Leave to cool completely.
  • Stir the dark chocolate and the butter in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water until melted (alternatively heat in the microwave, stirring after every 30 sec blast to make sure it doesn't burn). Once melted and glossy pour the chocolate mixture over the caramel. To decorate, go to the next step, or leave to cool completely then cut into squares or triangles.
  • For extra flourish, put melted white chocolate into a piping bag and pipe straight lines over the full length of the shortbread after applying the dark chocolate layer. Turn the tray 90° and drag a skewer through it in long strokes up and down the rows to create a feathered design. Gently shake the tin to settle the chocolate then leave to set completely. Cut into squares or triangles.

Estimated Reading Time 8 mins
  • Shepherd's Pie. A wholesome and classic British meal, Shepherd’s Pie originated in Scotland and the North of England and is primarily made from minced lamb and potatoes.
  • Beef Wellington. Beef Wellington is a fillet of steak coated in patê and then rolled in pastry. Although the dish shares its name with the famous Duke of Wellington, it actually shares no link with the British nobility.
  • Fish and Chips. Perhaps nothing is more synonymous with British food than fish and chips. But, unfortunately, this dish can often be a bit disappointing if you don’t get it in the right place.
  • Chicken Tikka Masala. Although it may have South Asian roots, there’s a lot of evidence to suggest that Chicken Tikka Masala was first created in Britain by a Bangladeshi chef in Glasgow.
  • Steak and Kidney Pie. Or any kind of pie for that matter. Whether they’re covered in pastry or covered in potato, pies feature heavily in British cuisine and are the perfect antidote to the harsh British winter.
  • Eton Mess. The perfect treat on a summer’s day, Eton Mess is a dessert made with meringue, a variety of berries, and cream. The dish was first served at Eton College in the late 19th century at school cricket matches and is now popular all over Britain.
  • Afternoon Tea. Scones, finger sandwiches, cake and tea- what could possibly be better? Although we Brits are famed for having afternoon tea every day at 5pm- that’s really a bit of a myth.
  • Cornish Pasty. A pastry stuffed full of meat and vegetables, Cornish pasties first became popular among tin miners as they were easily transportable and eaten without a plate or cutlery.
  • A Full Breakfast. Also known as a ‘fry-up,’ a full breakfast is made up of eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, toast, tomatoes, and sometimes black pudding (blood sausage).
  • Roast Dinner. The humble roast dinner began as a meal that was eaten after the Sunday church service, as the meat and vegetables could be left in the oven to cook while the family was out at worship.

  • Toad in the Hole. Its name may want you to stay far away from it, but toad in the hole is actually a great-tasting dish. Pan-fried sausages are baked in an egg-based batter and topped with onion gravy and vegetables.
  • Yorkshire Pudding. When we hear pudding, we think of a sweet and creamy custard enjoyed at the end of a meal. In the UK, however, it’s quite the opposite.
  • British Fish and Chips. Fish and chips is perhaps the UK’s most iconic dish, and for good reason. Who can say no to this crispy, deep-fried deliciousness?
  • British Mashed Potatoes. Mashed potatoes are a well-loved side dish all over the world. In the UK, they’re called “mash,” and they taste the same. They’re smooth and velvety, rich and buttery.
  • British Mushy Peas. Mushy peas are the official third wheel to fish and chips. If you’re having fish and chips for lunch or dinner, you have to pair it with this side dish.
  • Bangers and Mash. We already know what mash is, but have you heard of bangers? Turns out, it’s nothing new, only a different term for sausages. Sausages and mashed potatoes together?
  • British Scones. We know them as biscuits, but our British friends call them scones. Just like biscuits, scones are wonderfully flaky and moist with a crisp exterior.
  • Cornish Pasties. Cornish pasties (pass-tees, not paste-ees) are savory hand pies with a steak and vegetable filling. It’s a hearty, stand-alone dish that tastes great either hot and cold.
  • Scottish Tablet. The Scottish tablet looks a lot like white fudge. But once you bite into this confection, you’ll soon realize it’s nothing like fudge at all.
  • English Pickled Onions. Pickled onions are another staple at the British dinner table. Pearl onions are soaked for months in a marinade of vinegar, sugar, and various spices.
