HWMBLT Scottish Tablet Recipe
Ingredients
1kg bag of sugar
½ large can of sweetened condensed milk
125g of butter
1 mugful of milk (about as full as you'd fill for coffee)
Method
Butter a tray ready for the tablet.
Have a mug of cold water ready for testing
Put all the ingredients in a high sided pan. ( We use an old pressure cooker pan)
Stir continuously on a medium heat until all the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
Turn the heat up a bit.
Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring continuously, until when some of the tablet is dropped into cold water and you push it with your finger it forms a soft ball.
The tablet should be light coloured not brown. It is better to take it off the heat too early rather than too late. You can always reheat it if its too soft.
Stir the tablet vigorously until it becomes thick. If you cool the pan in cold water this saves you getting a sore arm. (put the plug in the sink, and pour in a couple of inches of cold water, put the pot into the sink and beat the mixture until it goes thick)
Pour the tablet into the buttered tray to set.
Enjoy scraping out the pot.
Bribe somebody else to do the washing up.
The last two instructions usually apply to one person
