Embedded in scottish culture since the early 18th century this candy was originally made with sugar and cream but more modern recipes like ours add butter and condensed milk. Rated 5 out of 5 by petitelady13 from scottish tablet carnation recipe i have been making tablet for years but the past few batches turned out grainy and sugary. I would always recommend a sugar thermometer to get the temperature exact and be prepared to use some elbow grease beating the tablet to its setting point. And that s aunt grace s scottish tablet recipe don t tell her i ve shared it. It is brittle delicious and seriously addictive.
Stir together condensed milk cream sugar salt and butter in a large 4 quart heavy bottomed saucepan. Simmer for 40 minutes stirring now and again. Line a 22 x 18cm tray with baking parchment. I used a small can of. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil stirring constantly.
In a large deep pot place all ingredients except vanilla over medium heat until all melts stirring frequently. Tablet is tricky to describe as it s not soft like fudge or chewy like toffee it s more crumbly and sugary in texture. Tip in the sugar and dissolve stirring often. It took less time and turned out perfectly. Approx 26 squares homemade traditional scottish tablet.
