A few weeks ago I blogged the recipe for Caramel cake (a boiled fruit cake) well, I found a recipe for Caramel Meringue Shortcake in Nanna's Cookbook. It was short lived! I made a whole tray on Saturday intending it to last about a week, but son came home and tried it - it was all I could do to save a few pieces for the next day.
I must say that I did not follow the recipe exactly - rubbed in the butter instead of creaming it for the pastry. didn't bake the caramel topping onto the shortcake etc. It was still infinitely edible and Ohhh soooo Caramel. The meringue went all sugary and crunchy on top, the caramel nice and sticky and no-one really cared that the shortcake was a bit soft - it barely lasted long enough to notice.

Here is the picture I took BEFORE it all disappeared - I had to work fast as pieces were disappearing as I arranged them on the plate for the photo.
