Scottish Tablet

Tablet is the "Scottish" version of our fudge. It's a VERY sweet, crumbly, candy type bar.

Ingredients:

• 1 large can evaporated milk
• 2.5 lb. granulated sugar
• 2 oz butter
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla essence

Directions:

Place the evaporated milk, sugar, and butter in a large, heavy saucepan. Heat slowly till the sugar has dissolved. Then bring to the boil and boil gently for 25-30 minutes.

When candy is cooked, a teaspoonful dropped in cold water should form a soft ball. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla, and beat till the mixture is thick and creamy, about 8-10 minutes.

Pour into a shallow oiled tin, approx 8x12 inches, and allow to set. Cut into rectangles when cool. If liked, wrap the pieces in colored paper for gifts.
