Oh no...my mouth is actually watering at the thought of Tablet! My Mum's Aunt used to make it for us but since she passed away, I've not had any of the proper stuff - only 'fake' shop bought imitations! Don't suppose you have foolproof recipe for this?! (Or is it a secret one that's been in your family for years?!)
Mmmmm....tablet.....mmmmmm!
P.S. For anyone who hasn't had tablet, just imagine the richest, toffee/fudge type flavour, that just melts in your mouth and dissolves to nothing... it crumbles away leaving nothing but a smile on your face!
LOL This is a recipe that has been in our family for years and years but it's not a secret!
900g Sugar
100g Butter (proper butter, cant be unsalted)
1 cup of milk
A Tin of Condensed Milk
Grease a standard swiss roll tin with butter or line it with greaseproof paper
Gently melt the sugar, milk and butter in a large solid bottomed pot, once the sugar is completly disolved add the condensed milk....
Turn up the heat til it is at boiling point, leave it at that heat for a minute or so, keep stirring though!
Then turn it down to a very low heat and keep stirring, usually takes about 40-50 minutes, you can't leave it or stop stirring or it will burn and taste minging!
To test it put a small amount on a plate and see if it sets or you can add a small amount to a cup of cold water and leave it for a minute then lift it out with a teaspoon and gently tap it against the side of the cup and if it sounds hard, it's ready (quite hard to explain that test!)
My Granny used to just lift some out of her pot and let it pour and she knew it was ready, she would never tell us how she did that and still to this day we dont know! She took it to the grave with her!
Once ready remove it from the heat and lift your pot into an empty sink and careful not to burn yourself beat the mixture 60 times with your wooden spoon.
Then poor the mixture into your greased tin and leave it to sit for about 20 minutes for the top layer to set and then you can score it with a knife so it will break easliy.
Then leave to set, then enjoy!
Yummy sickly sweetness!
