Equipment

  • 9 inch Loose bottom Tart Tin
  • Greasproof paper

Ingredients

  • 320 g Shortcrust Pastry Chilled Ready rolled
  • 10 g Butter for greasing
  • 125 g Strawberry or Raspberry Jam Your choice
  • 125 g Golden Syrup
  • 25 g Dark Brown Sugar
  • 75 g Butter
  • 150 g Cornflakes

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160C (fan) 180C/ 350f / Gas 4
  • Lightly grease a 9 inch loose bottom tart tin
  • Line your tart tin with your shortcrust pastry (use a rolling pin to lift and easy into the tin. Trim the excess with a knife
  • Screw up some greaseproof paper (if you have baking beans use these too) and bake in the centre of the oven for 15 minutes
  • Remove the baking paper and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. Your pastry case should be baked through and be a light golden colour. Leave to cool in the tin
  • When your pastry case is cool, spread a thick later got jam over the base using a spoon. Set aside
  • In a saucepan gently melt your golden syrup, sugar and butter until melted
  • Remove from the heat and add your cornflakes. Using a wooden spoon stir and coat all your cornflakes, be careful not to smash them up too much
  • Tip your cornflake mix into your pastry case covering all the jam layer. Pat down with a spoon so there are no holes
  • Bake for a further 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave in the tin for 15 minutes, before removing and serving (it will be really hot so be careful!)
  • It will set on cooling and is much easier to handle
