Ingredients

  • 1kg sugar
  • 100g butter
  • 400ml condensed milk
  • enough milk to cover sugar

Instructions

  • Using a large pan (the mixture will triple in size and you don't want this to boil over), add just enough milk to dampen sugar then add condensed milk and butter.
  • Bring to boil stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for just under 20 minutes. The mixture turn a light, golden brown colour.
  • Test by taking a teaspoonful and dousing in glass of water. It should drip in a slow goo on to the plate.
  • Take the pan off the heat and stir. You need to stir a lot, pulling the cooled mixture from the sides and bottom back into the mixture.
  • The mixture will gradually thicken, keep stirring until it is only just pourable. Pour into a lightly greased baking tray.
  • After 30 minutes, cut the tablet into squares while still warm and leave to cool.
  • Break into cubes once cool.
