Answer 5

I can't tell you how much I used to love this at school. I used to get up in the mornings just to have this at school! lol I even asked the dinner ladies at my primary school for the recipe.

Here is a link for the recipe,which is the best one I have come across because it say to melt the sugar and syrup in the pan together unlike some other (not as nice) recipes tell you to spread the syrup over the cornflakes.

I buy a ready made pastry case from the supermarket. ASDA, Sainsburys, Tesco etc all have them.
