CORNFLAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Line baking sheets with parchment; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter; add the sugars, beating well. Add egg and vanilla; beat well.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture, beating well. Stir in the oats, cornflakes, coconut, and pecans.
• Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

CORNFLAKE/DATE SLAB

Steps:

• Lightly grease a swiss roll pan and place a thin layer of coconut on the bottom.
• In a large saucepan, mix, melt and mash together the sugar, dates and butter.
• Add the cornflakes and mix well.
• Place the above filling into the tin and press lightly, with a fork, onto the layer of coconut.
• Sprinkle a further layer of coconut onto the filling and lightly press down.
• This is best cut into pieces when it is still luke warm.
• Keep in the 'fridge or in the freezer.

• Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 10 to 15 minutes.

EASY CORNFLAKE TART

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Unroll the pastry and briefly roll out on a lightly floured work surface until it's large enough to fit a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Use the rolling pin to lift the pastry over the tin, then press into the corners and sides so the excess pastry hangs over the rim. Trim this away, leaving just a small amount of excess hanging over the rim.
• Line the pastry with baking parchment and fill with baking beans or uncooked rice. Bake for 15 mins. Remove the parchment and beans, then bake for another 5-10 mins until just golden. Remove from the oven and trim any excess pastry from the edges using a serrated knife.
• Heat the butter, syrup and sugar in a small pan with a pinch of salt, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Fold in the cornflakes to coat in the butter mixture.
• Spoon the jam into the cooked pastry base, then level the surface. Tip the cornflake mixture over the jam and gently press down until all of the jam is covered with a layer of the mixture. Return the tart to the oven and bake for another 5 mins until the cornflakes are golden and toasted. Leave to cool until just warm before slicing and serving with custard.

HOMEMADE CORN FLAKES CEREAL

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and grease lightly with oil or baking spray.
• Whisk 1 cup of the cornmeal with the sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the vanilla extract and 3/4 cup water, a little at a time, stirring until the batter is smooth and thin. If it's too dry, add additional water. You want something the consistency of pancake batter.
• Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly. (It won't reach the edges, but that's OK. You want a nice thin layer, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.)
• Combine the remaining 1/2 cup cornmeal with 1 teaspoon water and mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs; add an additional teaspoon or 2 of water, if too dry.
• Sprinkle the top of the batter with the cornmeal crumbs (this will help give it a little extra crunchy texture).
• Bake on the center rack, keeping a close eye on it, until the dough has dried out and cracked, 10 to 15 minutes. You're looking for a cracked arid-desert landscape look to it.
• Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Let the baking sheet cool, then use your hands to tear and crack the dough into small flakes. Return to the oven and bake on the center rack until the pieces are toasted, crisp, and golden, about 45 minutes.
• Let cool completely before serving with milk or as you would any cereal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 2 weeks.
