175g plain flour
50g ground rice
85g golden caster sugar
140g cold butter , diced
1 tbsp milk
25g pumpkin seeds , plus a few extra
250g mixed nuts (I used pistachios, macadamias and hazelnuts)
300g/11oz caramel (I used Carnation)
3 tbsp flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a 21 or 22cm square, shallow baking tin with baking parchment. Put the flour, ground rice and sugar in a bowl with the butter and rub in until fine crumbs form. Stir in the milk with a cutlery knife. Tip it all into the tin and press down evenly. Bake for 15-20 mins until golden.
