evaporated milk for microwave tablet. I will dig out the recipe, I think its 1 small tin 12oz of sugar and 4oz of butter. You put it in the boggest bowl you have a nuke it for four minutes then whisk for a minute then nuke again for two minutes and wisk, repeat until you've cooked for about 12mins or so, until its a rich caramel colour and thick, then set in a tray and mark when almost cool into squares and cut when completely set.

I thought it was the very sweet condensed milk you used for tablet? Or is that a different recipe?

Well, in the interests of science I went through to the larder and found a couple of tins because I was certain there used to be a dilution guide on the back of the label. Not on the back of Carnation, apparently, but it says on the back of the Tesco own brand tin that diluting one part milk to one and a half parts water will give the equivelent of full cream milk. It also says to use it undiluted in tea, coffee and cocoa.

I'd dilute it down and freeze it if you only need a little at a time tbh. I can state for a fact though it makes great rice pudding if dilluted down!

Much appreciated thank you!
I did some mashed potatoes and put some (undiluted) in those along with some butter and they were very nice.
I'm off to do my diluting now !
