Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching.
Stirring constantly is crucial to ensure a smooth and even texture.
The tablet is ready when it loses its glossy sheen and starts to thicken.
For a richer flavor, use salted butter or add a pinch of sea salt to the mixture.
Do not overcook, or the tablet will be hard.
