Ingredients

 300 g Self-raising Flour
 180 g White Sugar
 110 g ButterVERY COLD
 2 Large Eggs (Lightly Beaten) 800g size
 300 g DOULSI
What you will need
 20cm Spring Form Tin ("8 Roughly)
 Food Processor
Oven Settings
 175°C - 345°FFan

Directions

1

Reverse the bottom of tin such that it's flat at the edges.

Apply butter with a brush or by hand.

Place a sheet of baking paper at the bottom.

Take to the fridge while we prepare the dough.

2

Pre-Heat oven to 175°C - 345°F (Fan)

3

Place Flour, Sugar, Butter and Eggs (Lightly Beaten) in the food processor. Spread the ingredients evenly around for best blending. Blending at most 2 minutes.

4

The dough should still be crumbly and you will be able to feel the sugar granules when you grab it.

5

Grab your tin out of the fridge. Place 2/3 of the dough in the tin, spread it around with a spoon or spatula. Make the edges slightly higher which will prevent the dulce de leche from spilling later.

6

Pour the dulce de leche on top of the dough. Make sure you leave space at the edges.

7

Grab your remaining 1/3 of dough and place it in small chunks starting from the outward edges working your way in.

8

Take to the oven for 35 minutes.

9

Let rest 1 hour before serving. It can be served warm or cold. With whipped cream on the side for an extra point.

Optional - Sprinkle 1 tsp of icing sugar on top.
