Butter Tablet Recipe Please

Ophie

Hi All

I wondered if anyone had a recipe for traditional crumble/melt in your mouth Scottish tablet? I am thinking as a late gift idea (probably stupidly) of making some to give to people on Christmas Day when they come over...

I know I can get to the shops tomorrow so can probably get the ingredients.

Sorry if I am posting in the wrong place, never quite sure where to put these requests.

Funny you should ask I have just made some to take into work tomorrow

This is the recipe I always use and as long as I stick to these quantities it never fails but when I try to double the quantity it refuses to set!

1 small can Evaporated Milk
1lb Granulated Sugar
4oz Butter
1/2 teasp Vanilla Essence

I usually use the base of my pressure cooker as it has a good heavy base.

Place milk and sugar in the pan and allow to soak for at least 2 hours
Cut butter up into small knobs and melt slowly.
Bring to the boil stirring continuously until mixture reaches "Soft Ball stage"
Remove from heat, add Vanilla essence and beat for approx 2 mins
Pour into tray and allow to cool

Enjoy!!

I made this one... http://www.nestle.co.uk/OurBrands/Recipes/OldFavourites/Tablet.htm

last week and it is absolutely fantastic ! I have tried and failed to make fudge before but this tablet recipe is just brilliant - we have eaten it all so need to make some more today

edited to say, I did make some more and its just perfect ! The best recipe I have ever tried - I even got OH and DS involved and they liked making it too !

Hi ktflosspot,

We have a recent thread on making tablet with some links to recipes, so I'll merge your thread with it as it helps to keep all the replies together. I hope you find a recipe you like.
