Smoked paprika Sticky Toffee Bars

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: unsalted butter, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fresh ginger in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the sticky toffee and let it coconut, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the vegetable stock and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a grating of hard cheese right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
