This delicious cornflake tart is a classic English dessert made with crunchy cornflakes and a thin layer of jam. It is more delicious than breakfast cereal in the morning.
Heat the oven to 180C / 350F. Unroll the pastry and press it in the bottom, corners and sides of a 23cm tart tin; trim the edges away and then bake for 15 minutes.
320 g ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
In a small saucepan, heat butter, golden syrup, sugar and salt (stirring frequently) until melted.
25 g light brown soft sugar, 50 g butter, 125 g golden syrup, pinch of salt
Stir in cornflakes, and mix to coat.
100 g cornflakes
Spread the jam on the baked pastry base, then top it with the cornflake mixture and gently press down.
¼ cup strawberry jam
Bake again in the oven for another 5 minutes or until the top is golden.
Notes
Mix the cornflakes and the melted mixture well. This will help quote your cornflakes for maximum flavor and it will also keep them together and prevent them from falling apart.
To make this tart dairy-free or vegan, substitute butter for a dairy-free spread.
