Ingredients
- – 320g ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
- – Dusting of plain flour
- – 50g butter
- – 125g golden syrup
- – 25g sugar
- – Pinch of salt
- – 100g corn flakes
- – 125g strawberry jam
Method
- 1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- 2. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and place it in a tart tin. Trim the excess pastry, leaving just a small amount overlapping the rim.
- 3. Line the pastry with baking parchment and fill with baking beans or uncooked rice. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment and beans and bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden. Trim any excess pastry from the edges.
- 4. While the pastry is baking, melt the butter, golden syrup, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small pan over medium heat. Stir frequently, until melted and smooth then carefully fold in the corn flakes to coat them in the mixture.
- 5. Spoon the jam into the cooked pastry base, level the surface, then top with corn flake mixture. Bake for 5 minutes until golden.
- 6. Let the tart cool until just warm before slicing and serving with cream or custard. Enjoy!
