Microwave Tablet

Microwave tablet is a quick and easy way to make this Scottish confectionary. I used to hate making it in a pan as you had to beat it for ages and I often ended up with a sticky and burnt saucepan. This recipe is made in a 750 watt machine, if you use one with a higher wattage - reduce the time, and obviously if it's a smaller wattage, cook for longer.
Ingredients
4 oz chopped unsalted butter
1 lb caster sugar
5 fl oz evaporated milk
Method
Line a square cake tin around 8 " with foil
Mix the sugar, evaporated milk and the butter in a large microwave safe bowl
Cook on high heat for 12 minutes, stopping and stirring every 2-3 mins
Remove from the oven and beat for 2 minutes using electric whisk or wooden spoon if you don't have a whisk
Pour into the prepared tin
Mark into 1" squares while soft and leave to set before cuttingEnjoy!!
