Once
the sugar is boiling, slowly add the condensed milk - TAKE CARE - the sugar is
at a very high temperature and may splatter. Stir well then lower the heat and
simmer for 20 mins. The mixture will bubble and resemble a moon crater, but
don't be put off, keep cooking. The mixture will also start to slightly darken.
After
twenty minutes or once the mixture is visibly thickened, remove the pan from
the stove and beat the mixture vigorously for 5 - 10 mins, add any optional
flavorings (see note below).
Pour
into the greased pan and when the tablet is cool but still soft, cut into
1" squares - you can even put the pan in the freezer to make sure it is
completely cold.
Wrap
in grease proof paper and store in an airtight tin.
