True, tart for breakfast with a cornflake crust! The recipe has been a family favorite for years! A butter-honey cornflake crust, smothered with custard and topped with fresh strawberries and jam!
Ingredients
For the crust:
6cupscornflakes
¾cuphoney
½cup/1 stick butter
For the custard (pastry cream):
½cupsugar
2cupsmilk
1eggbeaten
½teaspoonvanilla extract
½cupcorn flourcornstarch
2teaspoonsbutter
For the topping:
600g./1 lb. 5 oz. fresh strawberrieswashed, hulled, and halved
2tablespoonsstrawberry jam
1tablespoonwater
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
To prepare the crust:
Melt the butter over medium heat, add the cornflakes and stir for 2 minutes.
Drizzle the honey, incorporating with the cornflakes. Stir and cook for 3 more minutes.
Grease a 25cm/10 inch round spring form pan. Transfer the cornflakes mixture to the spring form pan. Press out with the back of a spoon to level.
Bake for about 7-10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool completely.
Meanwhile prepare the custard:
Place the milk, sugar, beaten, egg, corn flour, butter, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Whisk thoroughly to incorporate. Place over medium-high heat, whisking constantly to prevent it from curdling.
When the mixture comes to a boil and totally thickens, pour it into a heat-proof container and cover it with parchment paper to prevent a skin from forming.
Allow to cool down completely.
To assemble:
Spoon the custard (pastry cream) onto the cornflakes mixture and level the surface with a spatula. Distribute the strawberry halves evenly over the tart until pastry cream is covered. Combine water and jam in a skillet and warm over medium heat enough to loosen the jam. Drizzle the jam evenly over the strawberries. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
