1 Candy thermometer
1 Large heavy bottomed saucepan
1 Baking dish, 9" x 7", greased
Place the sugar, vanilla, salt, milk and butter into a large, heavy bottomed saucepan and gently heat until the sugar has melted. This might take 10 minutes or more, so be patient.
Now add the condensed milk, stir well and bring to a rolling boil.
Boil until the mixture reaches soft ball stage (between 234 and 240°F (112 and 115°C). Again, be patient and keep stirring.
Remove from the heat immediately and beat the tablet with a wooden spoon until it starts to thicken, about 4-5 minutes. You can use an electric whisk for this.
As soon as the mixture starts to thicken, pour into your lightly oiled dish and leave to cool.
Once cooled, carefully turn out from your dish and cut into squares.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
