Answer 3

This is the recipe which has been handed down the family (Lancs and Yorks) for years and served on bonfire night.
It is slightly different from the entries above but is very effective. My children who have left home ask me to make the Parkin and post it to them, and I never fail.

225g/ 8oz plain flour
1/2 a level teaspoon salt
1level teaspoon EACH mixed spice,cinnamon and ground ginger
1 level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
225g/8oz medium oatmeal
175g/6oz black treacle
150g/5oz butter
100g/4oz soft brown sugar
150g/1/4 pint of milk
one standard egg beaten

Prepare and oil18cm/7in square tin
Sift flour, salt spice, cinnamon, ground ginger and bicarb of soda into a bowl.Add oatmeal. Make well in centre
Put treacle,butter, sugar, milk into saucepan.Stir until butter has melted
Pour into well and add egg.Stir mixture briskly, without beating, until soft, smooth and evenly combined
Transfer to prepared tin. Bake in centre of moderate oven(180c or 350F) for one hour or until cocktail stick, inserted in centre comes out clean
Allow to cool.
It says you should keep it for a week in an airtight tin with a cut apple to allow it to draw moisture but generally it is eaten before it has the chance...
Hope you like it.
