Make Tablet the Easy Way | Burns Night Ideas | Granny's Scottish Kitchen

[@OkieJammer2736]

I've always purchased this on trips to Scotland, but have never seen Tablet being made before. I'm going to make this now as Burns Night is this weekend. Thank you!

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

Enjoy the process. The light on this video made the colour look lighter, but keep slow boiling until a deeper tan colour and it’ll be thicker and set much better.

[@becks43]

Scrumptious …

[@EliseSpeirs]

Thank you, 'Granny', just made my first ever batch of Tablet after watching your video. Takes me back to my childhood in Glasgow!

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching too. There are more recipes coming soon, once festivities have calmed down.

[@lynclarke6184]

Gosh this brought back memories. My auntie used to make this and coconut ice when she babysat us. Long time ago. I’m 74!

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

It’s amazing how these tastes and smells bring back so many amazing memories. I hope you get to relive them by making this.

[@truth-lg7xy]

Shes sounds like my old home economics teacher!!😮❤

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

My specialisms are music and computing studies, but who knows, I was probably a cover teacher in HE at one time. Thanks for watching.

[@Yemekmodum54]

Super harika görünüyor

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

It is! Wait until you make and taste this tablet 😀

[@-SleepyNurse-]

I enjoy hearing you speak, lovely accent🫶🏻💫

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

😊 thank you. Enjoy the recipes.

[@alanthomson1227]

My grandmother used to make this but she called it Swiss Milk Toffee. Full cream milk and proper unsalted butter . It was lovely and in my mind better than commercial stuff which could be gritty and granular .

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

Thanks for sharing! Homemade is always much better than shop bought.

[@christina6823]

I love tablet🎉

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

Me too. I hope you enjoy making it.

[@knutanderswik7562]

Well now that is interesting! My grandma used to make this, she was from Norway. Which is just across the water, I suppose. I will have to ask my mom what the name is. Thank you for the instructions!

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

I hope you get to make it and try it. Thanks for watching.

[@lindaconn5781]

Looks delish

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

Highly recommended!

[@seemtobeasecret]

Hi. Can i add in matcha powder? Have u ever tried or maybe heard that?

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

I’ve heard of it, but not used it. Give it a try and report back on how it is.

[@telemachus53]

What's the differnce betwen tablet and fudge?

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

In short, tablet is firmer, sweeter, and grainier, while fudge is softer, creamier, and richer.

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

Tablet is boiled for longer and at a higher temperature than fudge. This allows the sugar to crystallise, creating its characteristic grainy texture. Fudge is cooked more gently and stirred until smooth, avoiding sugar crystallisation.

[@alanthomson1227]

About three arteries .

[@SR416a]

So the world is left wondering how much sugar is in a little Scottish bag. 😉

[@ES-pc8kf]

It looks like a 2 lbs bag. Now what I would like to know is how long she beat it.

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

You’ll have to join the Facebook community to get the full recipe in both metric and imperial measures. 1lb sugar is usually one bag of sugar.

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

10-15 mins of mixing usually does the best work. Use a large wooden ladle.

[@shyb35]

Would it be sacrilegious to add a little dark brown/muscovado sugar?

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

Give it a try and let me know how it goes 😎you might find it’s rather sweet already.

[@shyb35]

@@GrannysScottishKitchen I took out some of the white sugar and then added brown and a dash of vanilla; tastes ok to me, but I'll be taking it round to my aunties this weekend from whom I'll get a second opinion.

[@robertmccusker4480]

Looks great, .never seen tablet before.would have been nice to see the finished product at the end...

[@Schnauzerpatrol]

I’m from US. My mom used to make something very similar. I’ve also bought tablet from Etsy. It was great. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@joniangelsrreal6262]

👁👁 🇺🇸 Happy to drop by

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

Thanks for dropping by.

[@embemw]

Looks to me like Russian fudge! I put on pounds whenever I make it!

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

It’s probably similar, but differs in texture, as Tablet is harder and breaks whereas a Russian fudge is softer and more fudge-like.

[@chavak3497]

What is it?

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

It’s delicious! A hard fudge that crumbles and lovely with a nice cup of your favourite beverage.

[@beefaroni4733]

The camera angles change too rapidly... Its nauseating.

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

I’ll be sure to inform my editor. What angles in particular bring on nausea for you? At least it’s not my cooking eh?

[@Peter-up9yw]

@@GrannysScottishKitchen Yes, I enjoyed the description of making the tablet, of which I had not previously been aware. However, rapid changes of the camera angle (particularly with no apparent advantage to the viewer) did give me a weird and unpleasant sensation. I went back and watched the whole video again, thinking I would select the times that this occurred, but found it was from the 0:11 sec mark to the close at 5:44 min, virtually all the video. If the film work was less visually challenging, the relaxing nature of Granny's voice and preparations would be far more apparent, appealing and rewarding. I have given the video a support 👍 and have subscribed for "all". Thank you for the presentation. I look forward to viewing other videos in the Granny's Scottish Kitchen series.

Why do people call margarine butter? Butter comes wrapped in paper, anything in a tub called spread isn’t butter it’s what was called margarine. Butter is pure cream so easy to make, no additives at all.

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

It’s a good question. I’m sure this will help… Butter is a dairy product made from cream or milk, while margarine is a non-dairy spread made from vegetable oils (such as sunflower, soybean, or palm oil). Butter is made by churning cream until the fat separates from the liquid. Margarine, on the other hand, is produced by hydrogenating or processing vegetable oils to create a spreadable texture. Butter is high in saturated fats, which come from the milk fats, whereas margarine contains unsaturated fats from plant oils, which can be healthier for the heart, depending on the type of margarine. However, some margarines may contain trans fats (created during hydrogenation), which are harmful to health. Butter has a rich, creamy taste with a smooth texture, while margarine can have a more neutral or processed taste and varies in texture depending on the formulation. Butter contains natural fats, cholesterol, and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). Margarine is often fortified with vitamins but generally has less cholesterol than butter. Some people prefer butter for its flavour, while others choose margarine due to dietary preferences or health reasons (such as avoiding animal products or saturated fats). If you’re vegan or intolerant to dairy, margarine (without dairy ingredients) can be a suitable alternative. PS, this video is not sponsored by either butter, nor margarine.

[@tessalee6253]

That brand has a 'spreadable' version in a tub that is mostly butter but added canola/seed oil helps it spread straight from the fridge.

[@GrannysScottishKitchen]

Absolutely. Spreadable version is available here too.
