Egluntine's Bonfire Night Parkin

Recommended Posts

Parkin is a yummy sticky cake made with oatmeal treacle and ginger. It must be an Oop North thingy.

 

You can't have Bonfire Night without Parkin.

Recipe:

 

Ingredients:

4oz soft brown sugar 8oz plain flour

4oz butter 8oz medium oatmeal

8oz syrup 1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 egg ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

¼ pint milk

 

Method:

Melt the sugar, butter and syrup over a low heat. Beat the egg well and add to the syrup mix with some of the milk. Sift the flour, oatmeal and ginger into a bowl and pour into the syrup mix. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the remaining milk and add to the rest of the mix. Stir well, then pour into a greased tin, 11 by 9 by 2 inch. Bake until firm in a moderate oven (about 1 hour).

 

Keep for about one week before eating. This improves it massively. Fantastic with custard too.

 

If some clever mod wants to move this bit to the recipe dept.......I don't want to double post.

 

Hey....its got an egg in it....it could go in the Omlet Recipe Book! :lol:

 

Thanks Egluntine! :wink:
