Cooking Instructions
Download PDFPreheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a 20cm x 20cm with baking paper.
Zest the orange. Finely chop the mixed fruit and glace cherries.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, corn flour, icing sugar, mixed spice and salt. Mix well. Add the butter and almond extract and mix until almost combined. Add the chopped fruit and fold through until fully combined. Press the shortbread into the lined tin. Using a fork, prick the shortbread.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and allow the shortbread to cool.
Spread the caramel evenly over the top of the shortbread and return to the oven to bake for a further 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven to cool completely before placing it in the fridge to set for at least 1 hour.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with corn flour or icing sugar. Roll out the marzipan and cut into a 20cm x 20cm square to fit the baking tin. Layer the marzipan over the caramel and gently press down.
Slice the simnel millionaire’s bar into even squares and serve.
