Indulge in the nostalgic flavor and irresistible texture of a classic Cornflake Tart (Old School). This beloved retro dessert features a buttery crust topped with a crisp layer of golden-brown cornflakes, creating a delightful contrast in every bite.
Ingredients
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 2 cups cornflakes
– 1/2 cup light brown sugar

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of softened butter, and granulated sugar. Use your fingers to mix the ingredients until it forms a crumbly dough.
3. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, making sure to create an even crust on the bottom and up the sides.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the cornflakes, light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of melted butter until well combined.
5. Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the prepared tart crust.
6. Bake the Cornflake Tart (Old School) in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornflake topping is golden brown and the crust is lightly golden.
7. Allow the tart to cool completely before removing it from the tart pan.
8. Slice and serve the Cornflake Tart (Old School) as a delightful dessert or enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cornflake mixture. To create a crunchier topping, try using crushed graham crackers or chopped nuts along with the cornflakes.
