    Thumbs up

    Melt 2ozs butter in a heavy based pot.
    Add one cup of full cream milk(ie4 Ozs) Heat gently till almost boiling.
    Remove from heat and add 1lb 12ozs granulated sugar return to heat and allow sugar to dissolve in milk and butter.
    When dissolved add one tin full cream condensed milk and bring to boil stirring all the time(I usually keep ring on No2)When it boils boil steadily for about 20minutes stirring occasionally Test after about 15minutes to see how it is setting. Add a few drops of vanilla essence remove from heat and beat till starts to get thick I often use my electric beaters or sometimes sit my pot in sink of cold water and beat with wooden spoon.
    Pour into greased tray and allow to cool slightly before marking it off and hiding it from OH. Enjoy. Can be sickening but it is lovely!!!!

    I really fancy trying this recipe. Can you use an electric whisk to beat it up? or is it better by hand?

    Hi I use an electric whisk for beating it saves energy!! I also have been known to sit pot in sink of cold water and beat with wooden spoon but whisk is fine you have 2 beaters to lick instead of one spoon. Is it any wonder I am the size I am?
