School puddings?
does anyone know the recipe for a pudding the schools used to make, it was pastry and jam with cornflakes on top
Answers:
YES! This a genuine recipe for the correct cornflake tart. I got this from a school dinner lady and it is EXACTLY like the one we used to have at school. I have two versions; the first requires a little more work. The second is quicker because it uses a ready cooked pastry case from the supermarket. Bon appetite! P.S. you HAVE to serve it with custard.
Version 1
Cornflake Tart
12oz short crust pastry
Teaspoon jam
4oz butter
4oz sugar
4oz Golden Syrup
6oz cornflakes
Few drops of vanilla essence (optional)
Line a shallow tin with the pastry and bake blind. Spread with the jam. Cream the butter and sugar; add the syrup and vanilla (if required). Soften the mixture in the microwave for a few seconds. Stir in the cornflakes and spread onto pastry case. Bake for ? hour gas 5. Do not overcook.
Version 2
Cornflake Tart – Shorter version
8 inch pre-cooked sweet pie crust
Teaspoon jam
2oz butter
2oz sugar
2oz Golden Syrup
3oz cornflakes
Few drops of vanilla essence (optional)
Spread pie crust with the jam. Cream the butter and sugar; add the syrup and vanilla (if required). Soften the mixture in the microwave for a few seconds. Stir in the cornflakes and spread onto pie crust. Bake for ? hour gas 5. Do not overcook.
