Cornflake Tart

Preparation time: 15-20 minutes

Cooking time: Around 20-25 minutes

A delicious pastry tart coated with a layer of jam and a beautiful sweet syrup cornflake top!

Ingredients

8 oz self raising flour
½ tsp of salt
4 oz margarine
6-8 teaspoons of cold water
1 oz caster sugar
200g cornflakes
125g golden syrup
125g caster sugar
125g butter
Strawberry seedless jam

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/Gas 6 and grease a small rounded tin. In a bowl rub your flour, salt and margarine together until it forms breadcrumbs. Using a round bladed knife, stir in the cold water a little at a time until the mixture begins to come together. Use your hands to make a ball of pastry and wrap your pasty into clingfilm and rest for 30 minutes to an hour in the fridge. (If this is too much trouble then you can always just buy it in the shop!)

2. Once your pastry is cooled, dust your work surface with some flour and roll your pastry out until it is big even to cover your tin. When you have rolled your pastry out you need to get it in your tin. TIP: Roll the pastry onto your rolling pin and then unravel it onto your tin.

3. When your pastry is in your tin add a sheet of greaseproof paper on top of your pastry and fill with either baking beans or rice. Blind bake in the oven for around 10-15 minutes. Whilst your pastry is in the oven you can get on with your filling.

4. In a bowl add your syrup, sugar and butter and heat over a large pan or in the microwave until all melted. After melted gradually add your cornflakes to the coating and mix together well, making sure each cornflake is covered in the syrup.

5. When you pastry has been in the oven for around 10-15 minutes, take it out and remove the rice and greaseproof paper. Once removed spread your jam onto the pastry and add the cornflakes on top. Turn your oven down to 170°C/Gas 4 and continue cooking in your oven for another 10 mins.

6. When your cornflake tart has done take out the oven and set aside to cool. When completely cool cut into triangles or squares, however you like it.  

There you go! Your cornflake tart is all done!
