Directions
Lightly grease a baking tray (11 x 19 inches works well) with butter and set aside.
Put the sugar and milk into a fairly large, preferably heavy stainless steel saucepan (mixture will double in quantity as it heats).
Stir together.
Add the butter and condensed milk and stir again.
Put pan on medium-high heat and bring mixture to the boil (this usually takes somewhere around 10 mins), stirring occasionally.
Once mixture comes to the boil, reduce the heat until mixture is boiling gently.
Continue to let it boil for around 20 - 30 minutes, still stirring occasionally.
Remove saucepan from the heat and add Vanilla Essence... and now comes the 'elbow grease'... beat the mixture vigorously for 4 - 5 minutes, or until the mixture starts to feel more 'stiff' and 'gritty' under the spoon.
At this point the Tablet is ready to be poured into the baking tray you prepared at the beginning. Allow mixture to cool a little and then mark it off into bars, or squares with a sharp knife.
Tablet is ready to eat when fully cooled.
