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.

[@BackyardChef]

Agreed. We were out until the lights came on as they say. We were all very lucky back then - all active and enjoying. Not sitting around. Fun days! Best, Rik

[@ccrgrl]

Can you imagine your mother letting you sit in the house all day gaming and texting!

[@BackyardChef]

Nope! Truthfully we had fun days and wanted to be outside - came back just as the lights were coming on. Best, Rik@@ccrgrl

[@Cyndithia68]

Yep, I stayed out all day on my scooter. Mum would have to clean out the fireplace before it warmed up in the house. She would put the gas oven on first thing to keep us warm. She was so happy when dad had a gas fire installed.

A lot of dessert places near me sell these and the cornflake part is a little on the softer side. The ones I had in school the cornflake topping was hard and crunchy like a cornflake cake. I enjoy them that way a lot more. Gives nicer contrast

Hi Rick, I had a go at this recipe last week, however things didn't go to plan. I tipped the ceramic baking beads into the pastry dish without putting the lining paper in. After I realised what I had done I started removing the beads, but it was a complete failure as the beads just sank into the pastry base and sides, resulting in one rather sticky mess. What a job cleaning everything up afterwards.

[@BackyardChef]

Oh no! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@jmitch8483]

I'm not kidding that I've never been more excited about a recipe than this one. My Pennsylvania Dutch grandma made the best rice pudding ever and I've never seen anyone make it like I remember her doing until now. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

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.

Definitely making this gorgeous creation next weekend. I think I would use strawberry jam but a good one from the shop and slacken it off with some lemon juice for tang. When I make homemade raspberry jam in the summer I will of course use that! 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!

My grandmother used to roll her rolling pin across the tart pan, cutting off the extra dough hanging over the edges before pre-baking the crust.

[@BackyardChef]

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

[@Curlyblonde]

Last time I saw Cornflake Tart was ~ over 60 years ago! A real blast from the past. High energy food for active children and adults who did physical work outside. Thanks for the memories Rik! Have a couple of real oldtimer suggestions, one from The Depression that very few people still make and would create some curiosity and memories: Tomato Soup Spice Cake (from Campbells) with cream cheese icing, and Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake. Both have interesting histories on how they were created. Don't know if you are familar with either, but despite their weird ingredients they are delicious. These will get some interesting reactions and comments. Not expensive to make either.

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! 😂

Haha! I had forgotten about this old favourite. Thank you.

[@BackyardChef]

You're welcome! Best, Rik

[@guss8958]

I'd forgotten about this. Thank you. Cornflakes are good for you. Best with plain pastry. And Birds Eye custard. Royal. 😊🎵

[@guss8958]

Birds custard, not Birds Eye. Water thin.

[@BackyardChef]

Oh yes! Birds custard is at least yellow in colour. Best, Rik

Hi Rik, looks lovely,but I don't remember ever having it. I do remember Gypsy Tart, which I loved. I would love to see how to make that please.❤

[@BackyardChef]

I have just made a video which will be edited shortly - Gypsy tart, caramel tart and some know it as butterscotch tart. Best, Rik

At school we also had a butterscotch tart which was another fave of mine. I’ve looked everywhere for a recipe but no luck.

[@BackyardChef]

Yes, another sweet dish. Also known as caramel tart if I remember correctly. Best, Rik

I would love to see you make some Staffordshire oatcakes. My family came from Stoke on Trent and I thought it would be fun to see how they are made and used for different meal ideas. Enjoying your content. ❤😊

So yummmm, I used to make it for my boys way back when we always had homemade treats all week.

[@BackyardChef]

Oh yes! What a Mum! Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik

Our school had chocolate crackle, which was always a top favorite. Basically the same idea, butter, sugar, chocolate powder and cornflakes. This one is a bit more sophisticated 😉

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Best, Rik
