Toffee cracknel

As the summer holidays near to an end and everyone’s bordering on boredom, here’s something to get children into the kitchen. This simple recipe came from Dave’s mum who used to work as a dinner lady in one of the primary schools in Enfield and this is one of the kitchen’s recipe. I’m sure I didn’t have anything like this in my school, not fair. The title isn’t wholly descriptive of the final product. This is chewy, sticky, really not very good for you at all, but totally delicious and very, very more-ish.

First of all, you need to melt golden syrup and butter in a big heavy pan. You can practicially feel your heart groan at the sight of this deliciousness.

Add milk powder and cocca powder and give it a good stir to get rid of any lumps.

Then add your cornflakes. The sauce goes a long, long way and you need more flakes than you think you do. It’s quite an effort to give everything a big stir after a while, but persevere. You want every flake to be covered in gooey gorgeousness. After that, add everything to a tin and let it set. Alternatively, add the mixture to some cupcake cases for perfect party food.

Easy as pie and goes very nicely with a cup of tea.

You Need:

6oz Cornflakes (although it’s probably more. When you’re adding it to the mixture, add it bit by bit and see how you go)

1oz Cocoa powder

8oz Golden syrup

3½oz Butter

6oz milk powder
