  • The Cornflake Tart is more than just a dessert; it symbolises a bygone era in Britain. It represents a time of simplicity and resourcefulness in British cooking, where a few basic ingredients were transformed into something delightful.
    Steeped in nostalgia for many who grew up in the UK. While not extensively documented, its history ties closely to Britain's cultural and culinary landscape in the 20th century.
    The Cornflake Tart, much like other simple, hearty dishes, found its popularity in post-World War II Britain. During this period, food rationing was still in effect, and there was a need for economical, easy-to-make recipes that could feed many. The tart became a staple in school canteens due to its simple ingredients and easy preparation.
    A Popular Cereal, Introduced by Kellogg's in the early 20th century, cornflakes quickly became a popular breakfast cereal in the UK. Its versatility and availability led to its inclusion in various recipes, including the Cornflake Tart.
    The National School Meals Service, Established in 1944, aimed to provide nutritious, balanced meals to schoolchildren. The Cornflake Tart, with its energy-rich ingredients like golden syrup and butter, fits well into the menu, especially as a dessert option.
    In recent years, there has been a revival of interest in traditional British school dinners, driven largely by nostalgia. Dishes like the Cornflake Tart, which reminds people of their childhood, have become popular in homes and the food industry.

    We loved this when we were kids in the 60’s. Today people would say “Oh my goodness, all that fat and sugar!”. But unlike kids today, we lived very active lives, most of it outdoors and we didn’t live in centrally heated houses. We needed those calories for energy and warmth. We also didn’t constantly snack in between meals.

    Here in Aotearoa/New Zealand when l was at boarding school 50 years ago, we had a pudding that was only ever known as Boarders' Favourite. It had a base of buttery cornflakes flavoured with cocoa and a touch of cinnamon, a layer of custard and a meringue top. It really, really was our favourite! Sadly it disappeared from the menu and despite much pleading, was never seen again. I'm guessing that when that particular cook left, she must have taken her recipe with her. I've tried so many times over the years to replicate it but, have never even come close. All these years later l still think of it and every time l see a dessert with cornflakes l get so excited, thinking THIS might be the one. This DOES look great and l'll probably make it but, alas, it is not THE Boarders' Favourite. If anyone has ever heard of it or something similar, l would be so grateful if they would share a recipe.

    Thankyou for the idea! I wasn’t lucky enough to have this at my school. We had chocolate or vanilla tray cake covered with thick icing and served with custard. They were also pretty epic to be fair!
    Just 1 last thing that was way more than a TSP of vanilla but you can be forgiven because you want a custard to be full on with vanilla!

      Good tip - however if you leave an overhang when blind baking the tart pastry cannot sink below the level of the tin when it bakes. Stick what works for you. Best, Rik

    Best meal I ever had as a school dinner was a homemade minced mutton pie with a side of chips and carrots. With gravy too ofcourse! I didn't even know what mutton was but I loved minced beef pies and just figured it was the same. Really hard to find minced mutton now.

      My favourite was mutton & barley, in a lovely thick gravy. Still add barley to many stews & casseroles, wonderful stuff.
      Used to make a casserole for my child when young chicken thighs, carrot celery etc & barley. I would warn her of the bones & remove them when cooked.
      We were in the supermarket one day & she shouts, “mammy, can we have bones & barley for dinner”! I was mortified. You should have seen the looks! 😂

    Hi Rik. While you’re doing the old UK classics can you do a Cock a Leeky soup and Scotch eggs. A favourite from my childhood is Yayla soup, it’s a very simple Middle East rice and yogurt soup with mint and lemon and we always used to add spring onions to it. Loving these blasts from the past mate, keep up the great work. Cheers mate.

      @@BackyardChef Beautiful. The Scotch egg must’ve been a while ago or I’ve forgotten it (my memory isn’t what it was) . I wish I’d paid more attention to food when I was a kid. I grew up in Caulfield (southeastern suburb of Melbourne in Australia) and as such was exposed to a full on multicultural society. Just in our close friends there were Russian (inc Ukraines), Greeks, Lebanese, Jews, Irish, Hungarian, Polish, German, Italian, Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Tongans (inc Māori), Africans, French and even an American (yanky) couple. My father was of multiple descents inc Romany and Asian but mostly Yorkshire. I’ll ask my wife about some aboriginal recipes but I doubt you’d be able to get the ingredients for the authentic stuff and most of what aboriginals claim as their own include ingredients they would most certainly never have had.
