Jammy Cornflake Tart Recipe

Another northern classic was produced today and we love it! 💜

I can’t believe a year ago, I’d never even tried a Jammy Cornflake Tart. Shocker, I know! Life is so much more content in Manchester with a cornflake tart in it 🎉

Recipe:

For the shortcrust base
🍯150g plain flour
🍯75g butter
🍯6 tbsp cold water

For the topping
🍯125g raspberry or strawberry jam
🍯100g cornflakes
🍯25g brown sugar
🍯125g golden syrup

Method:

1) Rub together the butter and flour until fine bread crumbs. Add the cold water, 1 tbsp at a time and mix into a soft dough.

2) On a floured surface, roll out the dough until a desired thickness and large enough for an 8inch tin.
3) Line the baking tin with the pastry and trim the edges. Line with parchment paper and fill with baking beans. Bake at 180c for 10 mins, remove the beans and bake for an additional 5 mins until golden.
4) In a saucepan, melt together the butter, syrup and sugar.

5) Mix the cornflakes and syrup mix together until fully coated.

6) Remove the base from the oven and evenly spread jam over the bottom. Add the cornflake topping and press out to the edges.
7) Bake cornflake tart for 5 minutes until crispy and golden.
