Recipe's preparation
-
1. Cook all ingredients 20 minutes/80°C/Speed 4 until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Cook 50 minutes/Varoma Temperature/Speed 1/Measuring Cup OFF.
3. Remove the TM lid and scrape any sugary crystals off the side of the bowl into the middle of the mixture, mix 10 seconds/Speed 3.
4. Cook 10 minutes/Varoma Temperature/Speed 1 until the mixture is a golden/light tan colour. When a small amount is taken out, it should set firm but not solid in a few minutes; the temperature of the mixture will be 113°C. (Cook 10 minutes more or longer if necessary until golden – it can take longer to cook tablet on a rainy or humid day).
5. Place the internal steaming basket on top of the TM lid and beat 3 minutes/Speed 5/Measuring Cup OFF. (Steam can escape but spits are safely caught by the basket.)
6. Add flavouring if you wish, such as vanilla essence, rum and raisin, coconut, cherry etc. but turn up the speed gradually if the flavourings are liquid, as they can splash out. Beat again 5 minutes/Speed 7/Measuring Cup OFF/internal steaming basket on top – until the mix is a bit grainy. Immediately pour out into a 23 x 30 cm swiss roll tray or a 25 cm square tin, either non stick or lined with parchment. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then cut into 2 cm squares. Leave in the tray to cool fully before cutting again and separating the pieces.
Tip
Tablet is a crumbly hard version of Scottish version of fudge. I found this recipe on the UK Thermomix website just before Christmas. Tablet reminds me of holidays when I was young so I couldn't resist making it and posting the recipe here. Even though the cooking takes some time it is worth it the whole 1.2kg it makes!

Anyone used raw sugar but blitz it is assist with dissolving better? What is the best way to convert to 'chocolate' flavour - adding cocoa? Or is it best to leave it alone the way it is?

Delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Made a few different flavours & all turned out perfect. The only problem is stopping everyone in my family having sneaky little snacks. It made perfect gifts for my kids teachers for Christmas. Yumolicious as my son would say.

How long would this last in Tupperware please? And would I store it in the fridge or on the bench (I live in QLD)? Thanks :)

Thanks so much for this.. I have been looking for ages for a recipe that actually tasted like the real thing... Loved it and will be making again for sure...great for when I am feeling homesick
Amazing. Recieved full marks
Amazing. Recieved full marks from my Scottish family. :love:
I've made 'stove top' tablet
I've made 'stove top' tablet many times, and it's always a success - but a hot, time-consuming job!! So glad I can now do it in the thermomix! This is the second time I've made it, but the first time was a total disaster!!!! So, here are my tips!!! Tablet should NOT be grainy, not at all, crumbly, yes, grainy NO!!!!!!!!!
In step 1, only add the milk and butter(still set timer/ speed and temp), once the butter has melted, slowly add the sugar a little at a time (use Caster sugar), over about 10 mins until it has all been added. Add the condensed milk (through the hole in the lid) when there are 5 mins to go! This prevents the graininess! I also used the entire tin of condensed milk!
Also, this took longer than the time above! I did the 20 mins, then the 50 mins, and then 25 mins.
Good luck! :)
Love this recipe and so have

I can't wait to try this. I also found the perfect one at Salamanca Markets, but it's a lot further than 200 ks from Adelaide, so it's only every years for me (probably just as well). I'm excited to be able to replicate that perfect crumbly texture! Thanks :)

I used to have to travel 200 kilometres to Salamanca market to get my sugary fudge fix. I didn't even know it was Scottish tablet, i just knew it was nicer than the softer chewy fudge........So imagine how happy I was when I made this and it tasted exactly the same and the texture identical.
thank you so much Stephanie for sharing :cooking_7:

Loved this recipe!
I usually make this one on the stove... never again, you wouldnt be able to pick the different in taste or texture.
It stay hard so prefect for gifts as it wouldnt need to be kept in a fridge, even in hot weather.

Made this to bring to our friends barbecue yesterday (we are all Scottish living in Australia) and it was a massive hit! It was gone within no time and I have my next batch in the thermomix right now at my son's request. Thanks for a great recipe :)
made this today for my
made this today for my scottish husband, he immediately said it was the right texture crumbly not grainy. I followed the advice from the comments by kcm1y about adding the sugar ( granulated ) after heating the butter and milk. Did 4 to 5 of the 10 min heating and mixing till mixture was "soft ball" . I added a teaspoon of vanilla and added an extra 5 minutes to the final beating stage. It set fairly quickly. so much easier than the stove top method, definitely a winner in this household :p
ps made it with thermie condensed milk

Easy to follow recipe, now just waiting for it to cool down to taste - but the bits on the spatula are pretty good.. Cant wait to let me Scottish friend try it out :)
WOW!!! I used to make
WOW!!! :D I used to make Scottish Tablet when I was a teen using my (Scottish) Grandma's recipe but it was always hard work. Haven't made it for about 9years, so thought I'd give it a go in my TM... I still used my Grandma's recipe ingredients but used this method as I didn't know how long it would need to cook for etc. It turned out PERFECT... no more hard work, stirring for what always seemed like hours... Thanks so much for putting this recipe on, its great!
So should I be adding the
So should I be adding the entire tin of condensed milk (as a previous poster suggested) or just the amount stated in the recipe? Very confused!
Also should I be leaving the MC off the whole time?
Fantastic!! Used castor sugar
Fantastic!! Used castor sugar instead of brown but other than that followed recipe to a tee and it worked out perfectly!! Passed the test with all my Scottish family and friends and have been asked to make more! :)

I have just made a batch with brown sugar - it has turned out really dark and almost coffee tasting. I will try with white sugar. Out of interest how did yours go with white sugar?
Was the most amazing tablet
Was the most amazing tablet my father has ever tasted including the tablet he had as a child in Scotland. It set wonderfully and i had no problems with getting the consistency right where other recipes seemed to fail. :bigsmile:

Try repeating step 4, ie an extra 10 or 20 mins until its really dark/golden. Well worth the trial and error for the end result :)
Hello, We have made this
Hello,
We have made this twice now and it hasn't set properly. I remember when my nan made it when we were kids, it was quite hard, but both times I have done this, it is gooey. Do you know how I can fix it? Thank you. Tastes great though!
Made this the other night and
Made this the other night and although it tastes just how I remember, it didn't set properly. It was soft and gooey almost. Do you know what I did wrong?
Thank you for sharing this

This recipe is perfect! I have been trying to make this on the stove top manually for years and it has never turned out like this.
Thanks for sharing :)
Hi there, thank you for
Hi there, thank you for posting this recipe. I am the daughter of Scots and my dad used to make tablet for us as kids and I have always wanted to make it for my kids. I have to comment on an aspect of the recipe that I found confusing. The recipe asked for raw brown sugar. (which I had never heard of unless its a reference to something like rapidura?) So I used brown sugar initially and promptly realised that tablet would never be made with brown sugar. Unfortunately that realisation didn't happen until I had mixed all the ingredients together and then thought tablet would never be that dark or strong tasting. So now I have tried with raw sugar - have mixed the ingredients for the first stage and sugar not dissolved. Have cooked it for another ten minutes and sugar still not dissolved. Just had a look at the original recipe on the UK website and it just calls for granulated sugar - which I believe would be white sugar and the crystals would be smaller than raw sugar. So next time I will make it (presuming this batch will turn out ok) I would either use white sugar or blitz the raw sugar before the first step. Don't see much point in trying to make this recipe "healthy" seeings its basically sugar - its an indulgence for a special treat.
Hope no one else wastes a whole batch of ingredients with that misleading "brown" adjective.
Just made it! Divine! Thanks

Sazzleann did you add vanilla essence or anything? I was umming and ahhing about this one today but opted for the one in Devil of a Cookbook instead and, though it's in the fridge now, I think it's a bit of a flop! I wanted to make some for little Christmas gift treats...

OMG!! I just made this and it
OMG!! I just made this and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried another recipe for fudge in the thermo and it was a disaster... it was just chewy like caramel. This was the perfect fudgey, creamy, sugary consistency I hoped it would be! YUM!!!!!!!
Anyone able to tell me how long this should keep? - Fridge/Freezer etc?? (Not that I think it will last long, but always good to know!)
Thank you very much Stephanie! :D :party:

I have made this several times now. It is hard to store in the freezer as my family take sneak snacks of it quite frequently:) One problem though, I have tried to flavour it when it says and it just doesn't work :( Each time it looks perfect but will not set at all!!! Could you help me with what I am doing wrong?
