I remember this in school, semolina and jam, chocolate cake and custard etc. Don't know why everyone hated on school dinners, the cooks we had made the best stuff.

Looks pretty authentically what I got as a rare treat at school, although they may not have used proper butter. Thanks for this blast from the past Keef! What's next in the series - frogspawn, fly pie, jam & coconut sponge squares with pink custard, pineapple upsidedown cake, chocolate concrete with chocolate custard?

If i have corflake dusty bottom of bag and broken bits i crush it a bit and mix it into the box of spicey flour mix for coating chicken breast meat. It gives a nice bumpy texture almost like certain fried chicken. My kids love it

I don’t remember having that when I was in school but we had some good meals at school. Most of the time I I walked home for lunch.

I don't remember cornflake tart either. I remember a lot of prunes, tapioca, jam sponge and custard, fruit salad out of a tin and ice cream in summer, but cool recipe and more comfort watching. Lovely!

I've finished school myself around 3 weeks ago, found your channel and have been binge watching it, I love it. I'll confess I've watched some videos several times, but it's helped me to start cooking my own meals to help my mum rest after 10-12 hour shifts as a NHS worker at a Hospital. I'll have to give this one a go, thank you for inspiring me. Many thanks, Matt Colin Cranham.

As a side note, Primary school for me had food brought in. Only when I went to a large High School did they cook on premises. Average food for the 1st 4 years. Much better as 5th years, ( Seniors) we had a really nice dining area with good on premises cooks different from the rest of the school, I suppose they were saying, we deserved a bit better. We even had a different tie for 5th year, I still wear it once in a while. Thanks for the recipes, Keef. btw, Moorside High School, Swinton. Cheers.

We called this caramel flan when I was at school. Everyone loved this.

This takes me right back to the mid sixties

Applause for even turning on the oven during the heat situation! I do miss the Mrs.

Never heard of this before. Looks good!

Glad to see that you regret not getting this from your Dinner Ladies. I think I had School Dinners 1sh/day from the age of about 8 till I left scobday School. Both the Junior School and the Secondary School had on-site kitchens and this was served often. I was 8 in 1952 so you may edit your description to include the 50s and 60s decades. I pity present day youngsters their School Dinners ours were wonderful. The only thing I didn't like was Onion Sauce and Parsley Sauce. And some milk pudding that was nicknamed 'Frog Spawn', cannot remember what it was but blobs of 'something'. Probably tasted fine, just looked yuk!

Oh wow there’s one for the ages haven’t thought about this one in years nice shout whoever asked for it!!!

As a young lad, I ate a lot of cornflakes and, after I became an adult, I experienced a lot of tarts, but I never thought of combining the two before. Two thumbs up.👍👍😁

I had this at school in Manchester in the 60s, everyone loved it.

Saw this in a bakers recently and thought it looked 'retro' but I don't remember it from school. I enjoyed school dinners - traditional British food with a few foreign dishes back in the 70s and early 80s

Hot weather gets my wife in the mood for baking. So for her pizza, she turns the oven to 500 degrees Eff for an hour to heat the oven ‘properly’. Or for her birthday in July, I might get tasked with baking her birthday sweet (a fave is Amaretto cheesecake, a mere 450 for only 25-30 minutes). Salute to you for baking in your hot weather.

Loved school dinners, especially the puddings, but left England in 1963 so never had cornflake tart.

You were deprived in school. I can't believe you're dinner ladies never made this. It's the most delicious, traditional, iconic school pudding there is! 🥰😋 (Pink blancmange and semolina pudding don't count. 😝)

School dinner were really good some days the smell of food wafting down the main corridors you just knew that the scoop of proper lumpy mash covered with gravy was going to be heaven 🇬🇧👍🏼❤️

Had this back at school and have made it occasionally to myself.... Just like mum did.. God rest her soul 🙏

In our school, only butter was added to semolina porridge and never any jam. Often we bought pies with cottage cheese and poppy seeds

A big thank you for this one keef. Will be making it on sunday😋

Oh WoW.................................... remember this so long ago

I was dragged up in West Yorkshire, never had this, you must have gone to a fancy school!

Never heard of that and I did have school dins.

Thanks Keef. Good video as always. Keep on chooglin.

Wrong decades for me, I'm of the sago aka frogspawn generation so never heard of this intriguing pudding, but it looks pretty darn nice. 👍

Never had this for school dinners lol we had chocolate sponge with peppermint custard or sponge with strawberry Jam on top with dessicated coconut on top with plain custard lol the only thing with cornflakes in it was cornflakes covered in chocolate (chocolate nests) 🤣🤣🤣. But this looks interesting

Don't rember this but we had an apples and corn flakes pudding

That looks like the ideal way to use cornflakes, unless you're using them medicinally of course. I can just imagine the sweet crunch!

Thank you very much, this one I will definitely try. Especially, because in our house NO ONE eats Cornflakes. We only have them for crisping up fried chicken or slightly precooked cauliflower, you know, the classic way: seasoned flour, battered egg, smashed corn flakes, deep fry. You might enjoy your left-over cornflakes as little „pralinés“ mixed with molten chocolate an maybe some chopped cranberries …

Don't think our dinner ladies could be arsed going to all this trouble so we just got cornflake cakes instead. Had one every day. Chicken pie, chips, cornflake cake, glass of milk. Tops.

I have Corn Flakes because I had relatives stay with me a couple of weeks and they ate them. I've been trying to use the flakes in different recipes. Thanks for the recipe.

Interesting that I only now found out that "Tart" does not mean acidic or sour in baking. It means a thick base pastry to a pie. I had these for dessert in Manchester in the 1960's and 70's. Loaded with sugar. Hope the NHS told you to use a low sugar version?? I know the procedure you are talking about. I would only make this recipe now for my 20 year old son, way too much sugar for wife and I. Thanks though for the explanation.

Looks lush our bakery sells cornflake tarts will be having ago at making it what better way to end the week off with one of your great videos

Using the microwave is a great idea, especially when it's so hot out. I really love my microwave.

Never heard of it or seen it before, intrigued.

They didn't have microwaves when l ate Cornflake Pie and custard in school.

Make cornflake buns with the extra cornflakes

YUM!!! (Why does your oven roar?)

I remember. ..Chicken Fricassee. .. can you do that one Keef?

You really wanted to use the cornflakes up by going with the original 200g haha

We miss Mrs Keef Cooks. I hope that she is well.

I have never even heard of this type of tart. It looks interesting. Cheers, Keef! ✌️

Hi Keef. This looks great. Your written recipe says that there is 100ml BACON in the pastry. You seem to have had a blond moment there. Thanks for all the lovely recipes you post week after week.😊

Grand video Keef. Never had it at our school but the puddings we did have were all very good. The usual things, sponges such as plain, chocolate, ginger, spotted dick, treacle, the lot. Lashings of custard. Thanks for the trip down memory Lane. Appreciated.

That must be a UK thing

We didnt have it down south!(Dannn Saffff) We did have something called australian crunch that was served at the 2 schools i went to and i've never seem a recipie online! There are lots of things called that but the Somerset version didnt have any coconut in it or chocolate on the top. Bit like the Oriental liver we had at college it was in the days of cooks employed by the LEA and the LEA probably dreamt up the recipes that were on budget!

I’m 54 and I’ve never heard of this. When I was at primary and middle school most, if not all of the school dinners came from a centralised council run facility. I’m having a bit of a moment remembering the cheese pie. I suspect it was mostly potato but it was bloody lovely. Then I went to a fancy grammar school and the food was awful, apart from cherry cheesecake which I suspect they bought in. They had these awful “rissoles” that we called feet. All the meat content of your average shoe.

"right back to your schooldays".....keef not everyone was risen in the horror that is the british school system cuisine, where was the mint sauce? AND WHEEEERES THE LAMB SAUUUUUUUUUUCEEEEE!!!! luvlay luvlay luvlay.

Is it a basil on the window?

Can you tell me, what golden sirup is? Like honey?

Did you mean high fibre diet

Doctor Kellog was an American extremely religious Seventh Day Adventist. He invented Cornflakes to prevent boys from masturbating.

Your fan oven always sounds so agressive I am always thinking your going to stand up with a new hairdo! That would be a great gag for a video!

Ha ha ha
