This recipe for Easy Cornflake Tart is a blast from the past, as I used to love this when I was at school as part of school dinners "afters". My recipe is so easy as it uses ready-made shortcrust pastry, although you can use homemade pastry too. It uses simple store cupboard ingredients such as cornflakes, golden syrup, jam and sugar. Serve the tart with custard for that very nostalgic taste of school dinners, either warm or cold.
I have a cunning plan to help me get through the dullest month of the year: puddings. Lots of them

"I stress the St John in our Eccles cake, as I am sure Eccles cake bakers in Eccles will not recognise them as an Eccles cake they know. Oddly enough, for a restaurant with a carnivorous reputation, we serve a vegetarian Eccles cake, omitting the traditional lard in the pastry; instead we use puff pastry, so apologies to Eccles, but this recipe's results are delicious and particularly fine when consumed with Lancashire cheese. If you have pastry left over, it freezes very well." Excerpted from Nose to Tail by Fergus Henderson (Ecco). Copyright © 2013.
Today's recipe for Mincemeat & Almond Squares is a belter! Using ready-made pastry and mincemeat cuts back on time. However, you can of course make this recipe with homemade shortcrust pastry and mincemeat. I used a block of shortcrust pastry for these Mincemeat & Almond Squares that was in the freezer - in an attempt to empty the freezer before moving house. I also used a stray jar of mincemeat that I found at the back of the cupboard, with half a bag of flaked almonds, and the Christmas Cake brandy. This big mince pie is vegetarian, but can easily be made vegan, as I'll show further below.

This quick (and utterly delicious!) chocolate pud, which I’ve been making for years to delight my family, occupies a space somewhere between a brownie, a soufflé and a cake. I think you’ll agree that’s not a bad place to be. It can be whipped up easily (and on demand!) from store-cupboard ingredients. Briefly baked until set on the outside but still gooey in the middle, it is excellent served with some fruit to cut the richness. It’s gluten-free too.
Today's Retro recipe for School Jam Tart is a huge hit with all the family. Remember those large jam tarts the school cooks use to make? You'd be served a large slice of School Jam Tart, just warm from the oven, doused in hot custard. And, there was something very comforting about the warm jam tart when eaten with custard. I suppose on paper it shouldn't work - I mean who eats a jam tart with custard? But it was utterly delectable and a real favourite of mine when I had school dinners. It was easy enough to replicate a large jam tart, but I tried a couple of times to get the jammy filling right - as it wasn't just jam I discovered. In an attempt to make the jam go further, the school cooks would add a little water and custard powder to the seedless jam and then heat it up together. This thrifty practice of making a pot of jam go further is based on wartime recipes, and I have actually made a jam tart using this method before here: Wartime High Tea Recipes, where I made a 100yr old recipe for Jam Tart.
