Scots Tablet only for the sweet toothed

My Tablet recipie so called because they are served as tablets.

2 lb Granulated sugar
3oz water
2oz butter
small can sweetened condensed milk
1tsp vanilla essence
pinch salt for luck

In a thick bottom pan, slowly dissolve sugar in water, then add butter, then condensed milk, bring to the boil stirring constantly, for about a half hour, or hardball stage.
Keep stirring and beating till you feel it getting grainy, take off heat, add vanilla.

Pour into a buttered tray and let cool, before it sets use a knife and mark into bars (tablets).

This process is trial and error but worth the effort. If you overbeat you will not be able to pour, underbeat and it will be to chewy. it is to be brittle and break but still grainy and melt in the mouth.

wrap in waxed aper or keep in an airtight jar. sweet sugar heaven.

You might like to heat with cream to dissolve, chuck in a shot of Drambuie or Glayva and use as a sauce for a suitable dessert, sprinkle with broken tablet.

Let me know how it goes.

So AJ, this sounds very much like what we, down here in the antipodes, call "Butterscotch".
If so, yum and many thanks for the recipe.
This is something I have been searching for, for quite some time.
