Equipment

  • Baking pan
  • Kitchen scales
  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 100 g unsalted butter
  • 100 g golden syrup
  • 30 g cocoa powder
  • 135 g cornflakes
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Line a 20cm baking pan with parchment pepper.
  • In a saucepan, add butter and golden syrup over low heat, stirring to a boil.
    100 g unsalted butter, 100 g golden syrup
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the cocoa powder.
    30 g cocoa powder
  • Stir in the cornflakes and salt until the cornflakes are well coated.
    135 g cornflakes, Pinch of salt
  • Press the mixture into the baking pan and flatten with a spatula.
  • Refrigerator for 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • When you're transferring the mixture from the saucepan to the baking pan, it may seem too much at first. However, that's because the cracknell batter hasn't totally been compressed yet. Work with the back of a spatula or spoon to really flatten the mixture before you think about whipping a bigger baking pan!
  • Use cornflakes right out of the box; make sure they're not stale or soft.
