KBB#10: Caramel pots with minted shortbread sticks

Peer KBB kali ini bikin dessert. Klo dilihat bahannya...byuuh. Untungnya si kakak suka shortbreadnya, si adek suka karamelnya. Si ibu aman deh untuk sementara:))
Shortbreadnya enaak, orang dirumah semua suka. Rasa mintnya samar-samar bikin penasaran ^_^ Karena gak pernah nemu vanila pod di sini, saya pake essense vanila sajah. Resepnya persis ama resep asli.
Untuk karamel, gula dikurangi 25gr. Karena cuman bikin setengah resep gulanya 50 gr, cukup untuk 2 ramekin. Ambil shortbreadnya, colek ke karamel...enjoylah...

Minted Shortbread Sticks
100g icing sugar
200g flour
100g cornflour
250g unsalted butter, softened
1 vanilla pod, seeds removed and reserved
1 sprig mint, chopped

Preheat the oven to 150C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Combine the icing sugar, flours, butter, vanilla seeds and mint in a bowl and mix well. Roll out to about 1cm thick. Cut into 2 x 8cm fingers. Place on the prepared tray and bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool and store in an airtight container until required. Makes about 30.

Caramel Pots
125g caster sugar
2 Tbs water
125ml milk
250ml cream
3 egg yolks

Whisk the sugar into the water in a saucepan. Heat carefully and cook to a golden caramel. Combine milk and cream in a separate saucepan and warm-do not boil. Whisk the milk into the caramel. Cool slightly. Beat the egg yolks, until creamy. Gradually pour the hot caramel onto the egg yolks, mixing well. Pour into four ramekins. Bake in a water bath at 160C for 30 minutes or until set. Remove the ramekin, cool then chill. Serves 4.
