If you ever had school dinners as a child, you may very well remember this dish! Up until about 2 months ago, i hadn't had this dessert for about 9 years and one day, me and my sister thought we'd have a look online for a similar recipe! I found this particular recipe and thought it worked quite well and the dish tasted just as i remembered! so happy days....
*Pre-heat oven to 200*C/ Gas 6*
Ingredients
1 sheet of ready rolled shortcrust pastry
115g golden syrup
85g of cornflakes (I found that Morrisons own brand cornflakes worked well, but you can opt for the more expensive Kellogs cornflakes if you wish)
55g Butter
25g soft brown dark sugar
1 small pinch of salt
100g Strawberry jam, slightly warmed
Method
Line the quiche dish (or flan dish with loose bottom - which is what i used and found easier) with the shortcrust pastry
Trim off the excess pastry around the edges and prick the base of the pastry case with a fork
Place a sheet of foil into the pastry case and pour in enough baking weights/dried beans to fill the base. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minyutes or until lightly golden. (You may need to remove the foil and beans and place back into the oven for 5 minutes)
Whilst the pastry is in the oven, put a large saucepan over the heat, and melt the butter, sugar, golden syrup and salt together.
Once the sugar has dissolved, gently fold in the cornflakes without crushing them and make sure all the cornflakes are covered in the syrup.
Remove the pastry from the oven and remove the weights
Spoon in the cornflake mixture and level off gently with a spoon/spatula
Bake the tart for an additional 5 minutes
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly as the cornflakes will be all gooey
To make it taste extra delicious, serve with hot custard!!
