Tips

  • Press the soaked flakes firmly in the sieve. They hold on to a lot of milk.
  • Toast a small handful of extra cornflakes for the topping and keep them in a sealed jar.
  • Frosted cornflakes work too. Cut the sugar by 1 tbsp.

Why it works

Warm milk pulls the toasty, malty sugars out of the cornflakes. Straining keeps the base silky, and a little brown sugar and salt make it taste like the last spoonful in the bowl.
