Method

1. Grease an 18cm square cake tin.
2. Put the milk, sugar and butter in a heavy-based saucepan. Heat slowly,stirring all the time,until the sugar has dissolved and the butter melted.
3. Bring to the boil and boil for 15-20 minutes, stirring all the time.
4. When the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (115C on a sugar thermometer), remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Leave to cool for five minutes.
5. Beat the mixture with a spoon for a few minutes until it starts to thicken and the gloss disappears.
6. Pour into the prepared tin and leave to set at room temperature(do not put in fridge)
7. Once set, cut the fudge into approx 36 small squares and store in a sealed container.
This is a nice straightforward recipe, however if you don't have a sugar thermometer you actually need to boil it (whilst constantly stirring) for 30 minutes, not 15-20 as the recipe instructs. It will start to reduce down and thicken, then continue with the recipe.Delicious!
vvv tasty... better with evaporated milk !!! thanks !
i made this today. It looked and smelt lovely although when i added the vanilla it started to solidify real quick and by the time i had left it 5 mins it had partially solidified. So i spread it out best i could and left it to cool. It had a crumbly texture and tasted great.
