Mr. Lees kindly made some of his delicious tablet for our Scottish Food Tasting with P3. he made enough for both classes and all the staff. A huge thank you Mr. Lees.
Tara has been very keen to write the recipe on our Blog so that lots of people can make it. You need a grown up to do this as it has boiling sugar in it.
Here is the amazing recipe:
Ingredients:
2 lbs of granulated sugar
1 tin of condensed milk
1/4 lb butter
1/4 pint of milk
1/4 pint of water
vanilla essence
What to do:
First put the sugar in a large thick based pan.
Next add 1/4 pint of boiling water and stir until all the sugar is wet and scrape the side of the pan so no sugar burns.
Then put the butter and both milks into another pan and slowly bring this to the boil.
Leave the sugar to dissolve and boil until it reaches 110 C or above.
Now turn the sugar to low and add the milk and butter mixture a little at a time and keep stirring.
Then turn up the heat a little at a time and keep stirring until it is
114 C.
Then add the vanilla and stir it for another few minute s until the mixture reaches 118 C.
Finally turn the heat off but keep stirring until it thickens more (about 5 or 6 minutes)
Pour it into a greased tin and allow to cool.
Then score it into squares.
ENJOY!
