Creating your very own cornflake tart has never been easier. With our easy-to-follow recipe and these handy tips, you’ll breeze through the process.

Don’t overwork the pastry: Treat your pastry with care and avoid excessive kneading, as overworking the dough can result in a tough texture.

To achieve the perfect crust, maintain a cool environment when handling the pastry. Cold hands and chilling the dough in the fridge before baking will work wonders and prevent the butter from melting.

Pastry often shrinks when it cooks, but stretching the pastry as you place it in the tin will make it shrink even more, potentially making the sides of your tart too short and resulting in leaks. Leave a little pastry overhanging when you line your tart to prevent it from shrinking excessively.

Using too much flour when rolling out your pastry can cause it to dry out. Always brush off any excess flour before you start baking.

For even heat distribution, opt for baking/blind baking your tart on the middle shelf of the oven. This will help your pastry cook to perfection.

If you don’t have a lot of time, there’s no shame in using ready-made pastry!

Say farewell to soggy bottoms! Blind baking is the answer to flawlessly cooked pastry. When dealing with a wet filling, blind bake your pastry by pricking the base with a fork, then line the pastry with baking parchment and fill it with baking beans.

This simple technique ensures a crisp crust, setting the stage for your delightful cornflake tart to shine.

If you don’t have any baking beans, don’t fret! Uncooked rice works just as well.

The best part of a cornflake tart is undoubtedly the irresistible filling that will transport you back in time with each delectable bite.

To create this heavenly filling, start by melting butter, Lyle’s Golden Syrup, brown sugar and a pinch of salt together. Once melted, add the desiccated coconut and cornflakes and mix together, be gentle with the cornflakes to retain their delightful crunch.

Now comes the exciting assembly: Spread a layer of jam across the pastry base and gently press the cornflake mixture into the pastry case, and simply pop the cornflake tart into the oven and let it bake to perfection.

Once baked, indulge in a slice and relish the nostalgic flavours that will whisk you away down memory lane.
