Parkin..have you a quck easy recipe please

[auntymandy]

I just fancy making some

Its the only one I've made so not sure how quick and easy it is compared to others.

1/4 lb self raising flour
1/2 lb medium/fine oatmeal
2oz butter
1 egg - milk if necessary
1/4lb brown sugar
1/2lb Golden Syrup (warmed)
1tsp ground ginger & mixed spice

Grease tin. Put flour and oatmeal into large bowl, stir in a pinch of salt then rub in butter. Add the sugar, ground ginger and mixed spice and mix thoroughly. Add beaten egg and syrup and mix into soft paste. Put in greased tin and bake for one hour Gas mark 2-3/300-325F or 150-170C

Sounds good to me.
Can I risk doing it before school?

Its in the oven. didnt expect it to be so thick/dough like have i done it wrong?

I haven't made it in ages but I think it is very solid.

will let you know how it turns out!
Never made it before but always fancied it.
Anyone else got a recipe? I could test them all and tell you which we liked the best!

bit like stodgy flapjack! Maybe my fault..must admit it is a bit like Asda's!

found another recipe for Yorkshire Parkin..think thats the one i need to do. Problem is you bake it then leave it in a tin for a week!! Yer right in my house not a chance!!

it would get eaten before it even cooled down!
