Borderline Billionaire's Shortbread Biscuits
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Gill: "So I'm making Brazil nut and raisin for my mum's favorite caramels and toppings that she used to like. We used to buy it every mother's day, so this is for her."
Voice-over: "Gill's millionaire shortbread will see syrupy milk chocolate topping, a caramel of raisins and Brazil nuts as a tribute to her mom."
Our version of Gill's recipe is here.
"They're pretty."
"That's the sort of thing you see in a bakery. I mean, they could have done with half that size, to be honest."
Gill: "Northern portions again, Paul,"
"Granted. It's certainly unusual, and I do like it."
"Mmm. There's a slight bitterness to the caramel, and I think that with the fruit and nut ... Yeah. I really like that. As a millionaire's shortbread, that's a borderline billionaire's shortbread with all that stuff in there,"

About The Great British Baking Show ™
The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.
The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
