Sponge flan cases

I used to be able to buy a sponge flan case, fill it with cherry pie filling and clotted cream and everyone adored it.
My now adult Grandson is visiting soon and wants one and I can’t buy the cases anywhere.
If I make a Madeira cake and slice it can anyone tell me how to “glue the cut pieces together” to make the flan base please?

😋 yum * Allira* and red QuickJel spooned over fresh strawberries is delicious too.
A fatless sponge recipe makes for the nicest flans ideally.

Oh yes, with fresh strawberries too.
I have made that when the DC were young with a home-made sponge.

Now, I shall have to search for my flan tin 🙂

I had the same problem. Morrisons sell them but they are rather large.

My mum often used to make these. I still have her tin.

Allira

You can buy flan tins to make a sponge flan case if you can't find the sponge flans in a supermarket, but Tesco advertises the sponge flans too.

I never even knew such a thing existed! I don’t generally like the sponge flan cases, but I do like a fat-free sponge. Yet another new thing I’ve learned from GN….. never let anyone say that you can’t teach an old 🐩 new tricks.

Oh good!

I have one somewhere in the depths of a cupboard, I won't offer it to you because I have the urge to make a strawberry sponge flan!!
