Heather Reid demonstrates how to make this delicious Scottish treat.

Makes one batch 

Ingredients:

800g sugar 
50g butter 
half tin condensed milk 
half cup whole milk

Method:

Place all of the ingredients into a heavy-based pan. 

Stir constantly for 40 minutes on a low heat ensuring you regularly scrape the mixture from the bottom of the pan (don't let it burn) - well, how else are you going to get rid of those excess calories? 

As a test to see if it's ready, remove a small spoonful of the mixture, drop it into some cold water, and if it begins to go solid, then it's ready to pour out. 

Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Pour the mixture into the tray and spread evenly out into the corners. Leave for 10 minutes to partially set and then score out the pieces with a sharp knife (cutting about half way through the slab). 

Allow to set fully in a cool place for about an hour. 

Break into pieces and serve.

    This must be the palest tablet I have ever seen!
    What happened to the beating it hard for 10 minutes towards the end of the cooking time?
    Love her shoes though..........
