This is the ultimate sweet treat in my opinion!
What can you not love about a four ingredient recipe that gives you the Scottish equivalent of fudge?
Where as fudge may have a bit of chewy ness to it, tablet crumbles and has a grittiness that makes it divine!
We often make a batch around Christmas to give away and share if friends are round, this year I have also made it for the school cake stall at our local arts festival so fingers crossed it sells well!
I can’t make it sound healthy but it is gluten free and egg free!
A word of warning, don’t be tempted to make more than double this recipe at once, it becomes much harder to beat and get to the graining stage and the chances of being burnt with the bubbling sugar increase dramatically!
Ingredients
900g granulated sugar
200mls water
110g butter
1 x 380g tin condensed milk
Method
Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
In a large pan over a medium heat the water and butter.
Once the butter has melted add the sugar and condensed milk.
Bring up to the boil.
Simmer, stirring constantly, for 20mins until a caramel colour and thickened.
Take off the heat and beat until the mixture starts to go grainy.
Pour carefully on to the prepared tin.
Allow to cool completely and then break into small pieces and store in an airtight container.
This sounds great! I absolutely love Scottish fudge. There’s a wonderful fudge shop in Edinburgh at the lower end of the Royal Mile–near the Palace of Holyroodhouse that my husband and I always visit. I’ll definitely make this over the holidays. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure Tonya. I haven’t been back to Scotland for a couple of years now but, the rellies are come out to visit us in Oz regularly, always bringing a little bit of home with them!
How wonderfully easy!
Thanks Thehungryartist, they are yummy but very rich so only one or two pieces at a time! Ros.
Ros this is just evil! 🙂 I’ve heard of Scottish tablet before but think it might now have to join my Xmas sweets list – how long does it last?
Sorry Beck!!! It doesn’t last long in our house! It actually lasts quite well in a tin in Scotland but I find the summer heat here shortens its shelf life to maybe 7-10 days in an airtight container.
The boys always make a batch at Christmas time to deliver to their friends, and, eat themselves!
Ok, I might get the kids onto it in December!
Excellent plan!
My mother-in-law has told me about tablet many times. I was happy to see the recipe on here. 🙂
Thanks CookItSlim, I don’t make it too often as it certainly isn’t healthy but as an occasional treat its yummy! Ros
