📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the shortbread: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with foil, allowing the edges to hang over the sides of the pan.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Pour in the melted butter, stirring until a crumbly dough forms. Do not over-work the dough. Press the dough into the prepared pan in an even layer.
3
Bake until lightly golden, 25 to ⏱️ 30 minutes. Remove the pan to a wire rack and allow it to cool for ⏱️ 15 minutes.
4
For the filling: In a medium saucepan, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, cream, and salt until well combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture darkens, begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, and reaches 235°F, 12 to ⏱️ 14 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract. Immediately pour the mixture over the shortbread crust, smoothing with a spatula. Allow to cool completely, about ⏱️ 1 hour.
