School Dinners Caramel Flan

[lisastark27]

Hi there, was wondering if anyone knew the recipe for the caramel flan you used to get a school dinners? And the sticky cornflake cake (not the one with jam or pastry)? Any help you can give would be fantastic. Many Thanks Lisa

Do you mean what we used to call Gypsy Tart ?

Large tin evaporated milk.
12oz Dark muscovado sugar.
10in shortcrust pastry case..prebaked or buy a ready made one .

Pre heat oven to 200C/400F/gas 6.
Whisk the evaporated milk and sugar together
minutes until light and fluffy. The mix should be
coffee coloured. Pour the mix into the pastry case
and bake in the oven for 10 minutes
Or
Toffee cream Tart
7 inch pastry case
� pint milk
2 � oz margarine
1 � oz brown sugar
1 oz plain flour
3 oz golden syrup

Heat the milk but be careful not to let it boil.

Melt the margarine and sugar, then stir in the flour. Whisk in the hot milk and stir as it thickens and reaches boiling point. Keep stirring all the time while you are waiting for the mixture to boil, then cook for 2-3 minutes stirring all the time.

Remove from the heat, and add the syrup, then whisk the mixture.

Spread the filling into the flan case and serve hot or cold with whipped cream or custard .

I can remember the cornflake one but can't remember how to make it ! I'll have a search round for you .
