Microwave Tablet

by Mary
(Fife)

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 cutting


  • Enjoy!!

    It may take a few tries to get this right but it is worth it. Remember if your microwave is a different wattage you will have to adjust the microwave time. My Grandson says his Granny makes the best tablet now !

    Not bad at all
    by: Anonymous

    Set perfectly. Nice and crumbly and melt in the mouth. Only issue I had was it had a slightly odd taste, maybe from the evaporated milk? Anyway, no big deal. It is from a microwave after all. So so easy compared to the traditional method. Pretty damn good all things considered. Would be 5 star recipe for defo if not for that slight weird taste. Highly recommended.

    This turned out very well - after many, many unsuccessful attempts at making tablet the traditional way, this was quick and tastes delicious.
    Just one word of warning - watch it like a hawk or the mixture will be all over your microwave. I ended up stirring it about every minute.

    So easy!!!
    by: Anonymous

    I love recipes that are simple!! This is one whereby you really are getting the same taste with less hassle and mess. My first batch was a bit soft, so with the second lot I watched the tablet threaten to overboil and at that poiny the mixture collapsed and then rose again. If the mixture was nearly over the sides I opened the oven door to make it collapse again. I did this all the way through cooking (12 mins) and I knew by the consistency this was going to set fast.

    This tablet is excellent. Very easy to make and you just have to watch it while in the microwave. Never go and leave it. Cut into squares when set and pop into see-thru bags and tie a ribbon on the top of the bag and you have a nice gift for someone.

    Super smooth Tablet
    by: Valerie

    Made this for the first time today and it turned out well.

    I usually make on the cooker, but kept having disasters, so thought I would give yours a try.

    It's a bit sweeter, but lovely smooth texture.

    Is there anyway I can double up the amounts?? as usually I make more than this at one go.

    Hope you can help with amounts.

    Thanks xxx

    ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS
    by: Kathleen Christie

    My hubby is from Scotland and absolutely loves Scottish Tablet.
    I searched online for the recipe and found this, and am so happy that I did!!!
    Iv just attempted to make it for the first time and am over the moon - IT WORKED AND IS GORGEOUS!!!!!
    The only difference to the method is that I left it for 14mins altogether (stirring every 2 mins).
    I made a full large baking tray (approx half inch thick, popped it into the fridge to cool and about hr later is has set - GORGEOUS!!!!
    I will definately be making another batch because no doubt wen the hubby comes in from work it wont last long, and my mam will probably want some!!!!

    Thanks so much for posting this recipe!!!

    mine didn't set, i put it back in bowl, back in microwave for another 4 minutes, whisked again and came out perfect - heavenly. So i think it needs 16 minutes in micro - you can tell by the colour - if it starts to look dark you're getting near toffee

    tablet disaster
    by: Jane

    I used this recipe to make the tablet for favours at my daughters wedding. It was wrapped in baking parchment and stored in tins. A week before the wedding it was bagged in cellophane bags (5 pcs per bag) and placed back in the tins without the lids on tonight 2 nights before the wedding I discovered several of the bags had pieces which appeared to be melting any ideas on the reason for this.

    No, you don't put foil in microwave. You cook the mixture in a bowl in the microwave and THEN put it into the foil-lined tray. Hope that helps.

    A few handy hints:

    Use an electric hand whisk to beat the mixture.

    Cover the bowl with several layers of cling film (pierced)to save it going all over your microwave.

    Just found this recipe and tried it out. Followed recipe exactly except I stirred it roughly every 90 seconds for the last 6 mins because it threatened to boil over. By the time I'd finished beating it with the mixer it was starting to set on top and it set really quickly in the tray. Result was lovely crumbly tablet that I will definitely make time and time again! Thanks for sharing this superb recipe

    Followed exactly with 700w oven.

    After 1st 3 mins it overflowed in my microwave making a total mess but was salvageable.

    I continued but cooked for 2 mins at a time. To avoid further spills I put cling film on top.

    Next time the clingfilm melted into the tablet, so tablet was binned even before I was finished.

    I am so disappointed. I can not believe people are getting this recipe to work.

    What to do if tablet does not set
    by: Chrissie

    I find that the tablet setting is a bit of a hit or a miss. So..........this is what I do.
    1.Line the pan with tin foil.
    2.Mark squares.
    3.If the tablet has set, lift foil out and Bob's your uncle.
    4.If tablet hasn't set, but is set enough to handle, I cut the squares (you might have to reshape them a bit) and put them into brown paper lunch bags for however long it takes to dry out. Sometimes it's only a day, others 4/5 (if you can wait that long!).

    Try it, it works for me.

    yummy but had to adapt
    by: Anonymous

    I've made this twice now, the first time as per instructions, which was yummy but didn't set. I had it in the biggest container I could fit in the microwave but had to stop it every 10 secs so it didn't overflow. Probably couldn't get to temperature.

    So the second time, I made it in a saucepan, exactly the same recipe but beat it with a wooden spoon constantly and checked it with a thermometer. It actually started setting as I scooped it out this time, so it worked much better - and the constant beating made sure it didn't burn. Great, thanks

    FABULOUS AND EASY RECIPE
    by: Anonymous

    Gosh, never again will I cook this on the stove. What an easy recipe. I personally find some microwaves vary in terms of cooking time so I used a candy thermometer and got the bubbly mix to reach 125 degrees C before beating and setting it. Yum!! The end result was sweet firm and crumbly tablet. I have difficulty storing these as they don't last long bore getting devoured.

    Thank you for this fab recipe chef.

    what kind of milk for tablet?
    by: currie

    I have made tablet for 60 years and I have a message for fellow tablet lovers, DO NOT USE EVAPORATED MILK. only use condensed, this and a stiff beating are the only way for the tablet to set
    2lb caster sugar - 8oz lurpak - 1 can condensed milk - a drop of vanilla extract and 3 times at 4 min. in microwave, stirring each 4 min.
    Bon appetite. John Currie

    Some answers to the previous questions would help - why doesn't it set properly and do we use condensed or evap milk?

    I have a 850 watt microwave . I've made this tablet twice and it goes soft but does not really go solid. Any suggestions to what I'm doing wrong?

    Good Tablet
    by: Tracey

    Thank you for this.

    Tablet making is generally such a chore.

    This microwave version is so easy and it really does work.

    I follow the instructions to the letter - however for my 900 watt oven, I cook for up to 9 minutes maximum. Once I feel the consistency changing, I know it's ready.

    The tablet I make is proving very popular, so thank you for taking the hassle out of making it.

    Help!
    by: Chrissie

    I've made tried this recipe several times now and more often than not the mixture curdles while cooking. Also, now matter how I adjust the cooking time and whisk the tablet until it's setting, it doesnt' harden as it should. Where am I going wrong? I don't want to give up on it yet as it's such a simple recipe and the tablet tastes so good.

    MICROWAVE TABLET
    by: jENNY

    I was given a gift of this tablet from a friend and will definately be making it myself. What is amazing is it is so smooth and you think there is condensed milk in it, tastes the same but it really is evaporated milk.

    Evaporated or Condensed Milk
    by: May

    Hi Mary
    I've just realised that you wrote in the recipe to use Evaporated Milk. I know in top-of-the-stove tablet, we use Condensed Milk.

    So I just wanted to make sure the Evap is correct?

    Thanks, May

    Hi Mary
    I am SO glad you posted this recipe. Tablet, tho' very sweet, is still a nice wee treat now and again. But I, for one, can't be bothered making it. So your recipe for microwave tablet sounds quick and easy, and I'll definitely give it a go.
    Thank you
