Kellogg's cornflakes treacle tart

A modern take on an old favourite - this no-pastry tart is scrummily sticky with lots of lemon taste to balance its sweetness

Preparation: 20 minutes
Baking: 25 minutes
Serves: Up to 8

What you need:

120g Kellogg's Corn Flakes (lightly crushed)
25g butter or margarine
100g wholemeal breadcrumbs
400g golden syrup
Grated rind and juice of one unwaxed lemon

What you do:

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F), gas mark 4
Place Kellogg's Corn Flakes in a plastic bag and lightly crush with a rolling pin
Melt butter in a large saucepan over a gentle heat and stir in Corn Flakes (reserve 2 tbsp for decoration)
Mix well , press into a 20 - 22cm greased flan dish building up the sides to form a flan case and cool in the refrigerator for 15 minutes
Make fine breadcrumbs using a food processor and transfer to the same saucepan used for melting butter
Add the syrup (reserving 1 tsp for topping), grated lemon rind and juice. Stir over a very gentle heat for 2-3 minutes to allow breadcrumbs to swell a little. Pour mixture into flan case
Using reserved Corn Flakes create a star shape (or shape of your choice) on top of the tart and lightly drizzle 1 tsp of syrup on cereal around the edge
Bake in a moderate oven at 180°C for 25 minutes until golden brown and set
Run a knife around the edge of the tart whilst still warm
Serve warm or leave to cool

Handy tips:

Use maple syrup or honey mixed with the golden syrup as an alternative
Particularly good with breadcrumbs made from Irish soda bread
Suitable for all Corn Flake varieties
Use half the above quantities for a small 15cm flan dish
