Scottish Tablet recipe ( as promised )  |
|
I use to make this all the time when my boys were little, I loved it ( thats why I am a cuddly wee Scottish granny lol) I hope I hav't left anything out, enjoy xx
Ingredients:
125g/4.5oz unsalted butter 1kg/2.25lb granulated sugar 300ml/ half a pint of full-fat milk a pinch of salt 200ml/7fl oz condensed milk
Method:
Butter x 23 x 33cm/ 9 x 13 inch swiss roll tin
Put the butter in a large, heavy-based saucepan (a thick one) and melt slowly. Add the sugar, milk and salt and stir until the sugar is dissolved, Bring to the boil ( stirring all the time slowly)and then simmer over a fairly high heat for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring often,make sure you stirr into all the corners.
Add condensed milk, and simmer for 8-10 mins over a medium-high heat, stirring constantly
After 8 mins, remove the pan from the heat and test the contents for readiness, it should be at the soft ball stage which means that when you drop a little of the mixture into a cup of very cold water, it will form a soft ball that you can pick up between your fingers. If you are using a sugar thermometer, it should register 115 degrees C or 240 degrees F.
Remove the mixture fromt he heat at once and beat with an electric beater (set at medium speed) for 4-5 mins (or by hand for 10 mins) until the mixture begins to stiffen a little and become ever so slightly grainy. Immediately pour it into the prepapred tin and leave to cool.
Mark the tablet into tiny squares (it is rich) when it is almost cold. When it is completely cools remove it from the tin and store in an airtight container or wrap in waxed paper.
