Ingredients
½ lb caster sugar
½ lb soft brown sugar
½ lb butter or margarine
Tin of sweetened condensed milk
Vanilla essence (1 tsp)
Process
Put all the ingredients except the vanilla into a large saucepan. Bring to the boil. Boil for 13 minutes, adding the vanilla after 11 minutes.
When cooked, the mixture leaves the edge of the saucepan.
Stir with a wooden spoon, continuously from start to finish.
Lightly grease a suitable dish and pour the mixture into it. When nearly cool, cut into squares.

My chef will have a go, when we can get condensed milk.
Most supermarkets stock it. Sometimes it's hard to see when the mixture leaves the edge of the pan. Exact timings from when the mixture comes to the boil are usually reliable. Overdone, and you get toffee.
What size tin of milk did you use? We have the 330ml.
397g Carnation is what we have in stock. I think there probably was only one size in Granny's day, and it wouldn't have been exactly the same size as today's version. Your 'bog standard' can should be fine.
Sheila is stirring as I type.
