| Scottish Tablet |
| Tablet is a traditional Scottish sweet confection which is irresistible for those with a sweet tooth. Flavor the tablet with your favorite extract if you wish. Ingredients 1/2 pound unsalted butter 16 ounces sweetened condensed milk 4 pounds Castor sugar 1 pint water Method Using a non-stick pot, put the water on a low heat and melt in the butter. Add the sugar and bring to the boil. It is important to keep stirring all the time. Once it is boiling, stir in the condensed milk and simmer for 20 minutes. Keep stirring to avoid it sticking/burning. Take off the heat and beat vigorously for five minutes, adding the flavoring of your choice. Pour into a rectangular greased tin and once it is partly cooled, cut into bars [about 5 x 1/2]. Once the tablet is cold, wrap the bars in waxed paper and store in an airtight jar or tin. |
