Homemade Traditional Scottish Tablet
A distinguished culinary classic crafted with authentic techniques and finest ingredients, offering rich depth of flavour and elegant presentation.
Ingredients
- • 900g granulated white sugar (4.5 cups or 2lb. Yes, that much sugar!)
- • 250ml of full-fat milk (1 cup)
- • 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk (397g tin)
- • 85g butter (6tbsp)
Preparation Steps
Slowly dissolve the sugar, milk, and butter until it's smooth. This can be done in a pot on the stove but it's also easy to do in the microwave and lowers the risk of burning. Put in a microwave-safe bowl and blast for 90 seconds at a time on a low or defrost setting. It'll take approximately 6 times in the microwave for it to melt into a smooth mixture.
Pour the liquid into a large pot on the stove. If you're using an electric stovetop you can use a trivet to stop the mixture burning.
Add the condensed milk and bring it up to a boil (stir continuously to stop it catching on the bottom of the pan)
Briskly simmer for about 20 minutes until the mixture darkens to a caramel colour, stirring continuously
Take off the heat, quickly beat the mixture and pour it into a buttered swiss roll tin
