- A relatively new favourite. Very rich with a buttery vanilla taste, much like a soft and crumbly fudge, it melts in your mouth. Easy to make and very forgiving.

OMG! I lived in Scotland as a child, and I remember having something that was fudge like. It had a sweet, crumbly texture. I've spent my life trying to figure out what it was, AND I THINK THIS IS IT!!!! I'm so excited to try this and see!!!
I really do hope it is as good as your childhood memory!
The difference between fudge and tablet is that fudge is quite soft and tablet has a ‘bite’ to it.
I'm from Scotland for 36 year tablet was yummy growing up and thanks too you I can make it new for my daughter she love it ❤
Melt 250g of unsalted butter with 250ml of semi skimmed milk in a large pan. Pour in 900g of sugar slowly stirring continuously. Boil for 5mins. Add 1 tin 397g of sweetened condensed milk while stirring. Boil for 20mins stirring intermittently. Take off heat and leave for 5mins. Stir well and pour into a lined tray(baking parchment) Cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Lift out tray and cut into squares. Love from Scotland.
Thank you for that, sounds good, will have to try it.
This comes with a warning .....It is addictive very,very addictive
You did a really wonderful video on the making of Scottish tablet....it is soooooo delicious, thank you!
😋 I use Half and half or heavy cream. I don't usually have any canned milks on hand but I always have half and half for coffee. So, yeah, every old recipe we know of that uses store bought stuff was originally made with things the women had at home. I always try to find those versions (or tweak the more modern ones) because I try to cook with what I've got. But oh my this looks so YUM. I just ran out of my recent batch of Tablet. I think that this video showed up means today I need to make more! 🌴 Thank you
Thank you. I totally agree with you, when things pop up, especially if they are tasty, you know there is a reason for it ;)
You're absolutely right. You should be able to make this with any type of cream. We always tend to have a bit of shelf-stable condensed or evaporated milk on hand since it has a good long shelf life and doesn't require refrigeration, but if you only have fresh, that should work, too. Thanks for your comment. I hope you made it and enjoyed it!
🙀🙀🙀looks amazing have to try it thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Love the video. It's making me hungry will have to make this so thanks for the great instructions.
Ooooh looks and sounds so delicious !
I made a batch with almond extract, I know it may sound odd but it was amazing!
Sounds interesting. Might have to try it.
Thank you for sharing your recipe. It looks delicious.
Thank you for your comment. I hope you make it.
Love tablet. Can feel my fillings getting paranoid right noo.
I could never let my dentist see this or he'd really get angry with me.
I’ve never even heard of it, but it sounds and looks delicious!
@Jan McGuire what in the hell is it it sounds amazing it sounds yummy I never heard of it
My son told me about this fudge his friends mother made (She is Scottish) he couldn’t remember what it was called. My son will be happy when I make this for him as I think it was Scottish tablet she made. 👍
I hope he enjoys it. I think it's time I made it again aswell.
Thank God for good old-fashioned stove top recipes! One question: what was used before condensed milk was invented?
That's a very good question. I had looked at this before, which was quite interesting... www.nestle.com/aboutus/history/nestle-company-history/page-brothers-anglo-swiss
Heavy cream and a heck of a lot of sugar
Half and half or heavy cream. I make mine with half and half. I don't usually have the canned Milks on hand but I always have half and half for coffee.
❤
Delish
Is the taste very similar to fudge?
It does taste like a butter fudge, also very addictive.
would it work to use another flavoring than vanilla??
Another viewer said that she made a batch with almond extract, stating it may sound odd, but it was amazing.
I can imagine that Maple flavour would be really good, too. Perhaps with some walnuts or pecans added in. Phil avoids nuts so I wouldn't put them in ours, but I may definitely try Maple flavouring someday. Perhaps a coffee flavouring could work, too.
I use maple syrup or salted caramel. But I saw some people here (Scotland) use golden syrup as well. I think that’s corn syrup over the pond. I’ve even seen someone use cinnamon. The recipe is quite flexible that way in terms of flavourings 😊
I have looked all over the place for condensed milk and I can only find sweetened condensed milk. Even Amazon doesn’t have it. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Sweetened condensed milk is what you use! I'm Scottish. 🙂
@@pamib29 . Me too and I’m from Kirriemuir, Angus (NE Scotland). I also use a wooden spoon and salted butter just like my granny and my mum always did!!!! 🏴
@@hazelhatswell4268 I’m from the West coast! 🏴 xx
@@hazelhatswell4268 plus did you see how much vanilla she put in? 2 tablespoons!!!🤣 Half a teaspoon max in every recipe I’ve got! xx
@@pamib29 . Me too that’s a heck of a lot of vanilla!!!! 🫣 😘😂
Dies it taste like a butter. Rum lifesaver?
a Teaspoon of vanilla should be more than enough for that quantity!! 2 tablespoons is way overkill .
You should have broken a piece to show the texture.
Good point. I guess I'll have to make it again and add a bit to the video. Any excuse to have more ;)
Wish you would use grams and not cups..
Thank you for your comment, we appreciate your constructive feedback, it helps us to grow our channel. We shall look at including both on future videos. I understand your point, because my husband is from the UK and prefers to use grams where possible. For now however, there is a handy website for conversion here that you might want to bookmark, which I hope you will be able to make use of, www.inchcalculator.com/convert/cup-to-gram/.
Tablet is difficult to make
