Delicious Monkey Bread Fail

Delicious Monkey Bread Fail
Or
Caramel shortcake

 What you'll need
1 Can of sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cup of self rising flour
3/4 cup of sugar
1/4 (about) cup of milk
2 eggs
1 stick of butter melted
1/2 (or so) cup of brown sugar



 Start by putting the sweetened condensed milk in a double boiler (which is a pan of boiling water under a pan filled with the milk)   This takes about an hour to caramelize so do this first. Also Preheat over to 350*

 Next mix the melted butter with the sugar
Add in one egg at a time while beating
Sift in flour 1 tbsp or so at a time
Add the milk and mix really well, dough will be really sticky


Fix a plate with brown sugar and flour up your hands
You will then pinch off balls of dough and drop it in the brown sugar. You may need to flour your hands over and over again so the dough doesn't stick to your fingers
Roll it around the sugar till it is fully covered


Plop the sugar coated balls into a non stick spray coated pan (you could also use butter or shortening)
 By now your caramel should be ready, pour it all over the top of the cake balls


Now throw it in the oven at 350* for about 35 min. Test to see if its done by sticking a toothpick in, if the toothpick comes out clean then its done!

Mmmm Hot gooey caramel goodness.
So it didn't really come out like monkey bread, but it had brown sugar swirls through out and had hard caramel goodness on top, and some soft caramel inside.
Really good.

Let me know if you tried this and how it turned out for you!
