Coffee streusel slice

Base
125 g butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup plain flour
1/4 cup self-raising flour

filling
4oog can sweetened condensed milk
30g butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
3 teaspoons instant coffee powder
1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped

topping
1 cup plain flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
125g butter

Base
Cream butter and sugar until just combined, stir in sifted flours in two lots, mix to a firm dough. Press evenly over base of a well-greased 30cm x 25cm swiss roll tin. Bake in a moderate oven 10 minutes. Spread with filling. Grate topping evenly over surface, bake in moderate oven further 10 to 15 minutes, or until topping feels firm to the touch. Stand 15 minutes before cutting. Leave to cool on tin. Cut into bars, slices or diamonds.

Filling
Combine condensed milk, butter, golden syrup and coffee in a saucepan, stir over medium heat until mixture begins to bubble on base of pan. Continue stirring briskly for about 3 minutes, or until mixture is thick and beginning to 'catch' on base of pan. Stir in walnuts.

Topping
Sift dry ingredients into a basin, rub in the butter. Mix to a firm dough, refrigerate 30 minutes before grating coarsely.
