Tablet from Scotland

'Tablet' means many things but in Scotland, it is likely to refer to a sweet. It was written down in 1706 and will be older than that. Tablet is made nowadays from butter and sweetened condensed milk (you can use sugar and ordinary milk).

To make it, you heat the ingredients together in a pan until they change colour to a light brown. The mixture will begin to get thicker - you can put a little bit in a saucer to see if it is ready to set (become solid). Once the hot mixture is thick enough, pour it into a tray that is greased or has baking paper on it. Then when the tablet has become set and is cool, you can cut it into little square pieces or chunks. When you eat the tablet, it is not too hard and not too soft. The tablet is extremely sweet so you only need a little piece for a treat!

In Scotland, this sweet is often given to you in a cafe when you order coffee. It is put on the saucer with your cup as a complimentary (free) treat to nibble with your drink. Some hotel kitchens make their own tablet. You can buy it in shops too. Some people make it at home as a family treat or to sell for a local charity, so if you are lucky, you can get to taste homemade tablet.

Why not visit Scotland, and try other Scottish treats!
