Scottish Tablet




My wife and I wish we were Scottish–and this Scottish fudge (called tablet) is made every holiday. 

It looks and smells like fudge, but has an amazing brittle, almost fine gritty texture, and it’s heavenly. Full of sugar, but it makes a wonderful complement to a cup of tea or coffee.

A dish we could make all year long, but I would never fit through the door. I am glad we only have this once a year, that way we can enjoy this treat without feeling too guilty. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do. The site where you can get other great dishes that are Scottish-influenced.


Ingredients:

1.25 cups milk
2.2 pounds of sugar
1 ounce butter
1 standard can of sweetened condensed milk
A few drops of vanilla extract


In a heavy saucepan, add the milk, sugar and butter. Stir gently over the heat until the sugar is dissolved (about 20 minutes). Add the condensed milk and boil the mixture for 25 minutes or until it is golden brown. Remove from the heat, and add the vanilla, and let it cool for a few minutes. Beat the mixture vigorously for about 10 minutes or until the mixture is thick. Pour into a well-greased glass casserole dish or a baking sheet until set, and cut it into small squares.

Recipes Hints and Tips:
Store the bite-sized pieces in an airtight container between pieces of parchment paper.
