Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C / 355°F / gas mark 4. 
  2. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Unroll the pastry, then flatten it evenly with a rolling pin until its surface is big enough to cover a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin
  3. Lift the pastry over the tin and press into all crevices, ensuring that a small amount of excess pastry hangs over the trim. Trim if necessary.
  4. You need to blind bake the pastry first. So line the pastry with parchment paper, then fill it with baking beans or uncooked rice.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes. 
  6. Remove the beans or rice plus the parchment, then continue to bake for another 5 minutes or until the pastry is golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and trim the excess pastry from the edges.
  8. Using a large saucepan, heat the butter, syrup and sugar until everything has melted and the mixture is smooth.   
  9. Fold in the cornflakes and ensure everything is coated evenly.
  10. Spoon the jam onto the base of the cooked pastry, ensuring it’s evenly coated. 
  11. Tip the cornflake mixture on top of the jam layer and gently press down until an even layer is formed. 
  12. Bake the tart for another 5 minutes or until the cornflakes are golden. 
  13. Serve warm with custard. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you have any leftover pastry, you can make extra mini tarts out of it by using a muffin or Yorkshire pudding tin.
  • Feel free to play with different jams, such as strawberry or cherry jam.
  • For best results, you can make your own shortcrust pastry from scratch. Ready-rolled pastry saves so much time though!
  • The tart can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, if it lasts that long!
