SCOTTISH TABLET

What is a Scottish tablet ? It is a crumbly fudge .
I often get asked for the recipe for a crumbly fudge as opposed to a smooth chewy fudge .
Spray an aluminium tray ( 30 x 20 cm ) or 25 cm square pan with cooking spray .
Place the following ingredients in a large pot ( the mixture doubles in size )
*250 gm of butter
*1 x 395 gm can of condensed milk
*175 ml of milk
* 2 tbs of golden syrup
*800 gm of sugar ( granulated )
* 1 dsp of sea salt
Bring this mix to the boil and boil for 15 minutes , stirring continually until the mixture is golden in colour .
To check that the fudge is ready drop a little of the mixture into cold water , it should solidify .
At this point add 1 dsp of vanilla extract .
Now use an electric whisk or beater ----and whisk and beat the fudge for 6 minutes or until it thickens to a stiff consistency .
* It is this final beating that gives the fudge the crumbly texture *
Place the mixture in the prepared tray ( you will need to push the mixture in the tray as it will be thick ) smooth over the top .
Refrigerate till cooled , ( about 1 and 1/2 - 2 hours ) then slice into squares before it sets completely .
