F.a.o. Bedknobs - Parkin Recipe

[jourdain2]

Hi, Bedknobs, sorry this has taken so long.

STICKY PARKIN RECIPE

8 oz flour (plain) ; 2 level tsps. baking powder; 2 level tsps. ground ginger; 1 level tsp. ground cinnamon; 8 oz medium oatmeal; 6 oz black treacle; 4 oz hard margarine; 6 oz soft brown sugar; 1 egg, beaten; 1/4 pt. milk.

Oven heat 350F/Mark4/180C.

Grease & line a 9" square cake tin (or any other shape that holds the equivalent). Sieve flour; baking powder; ginger & cinnamon into a bowl and stir in the oatmeal.
Put treacle, margarine & sugar into a pan over a low heat & stir occasionally until the margarine has just melted.
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and gradually stir in the treacle mixture and then the egg and milk. Beat well until smooth.
Pour into tin and bake for about an hour until golden.
Cool slightly until you are able to turn the parkin out onto a wire rack. Store in an airtight tin. Serve on its own or spread with butter.
N.B. It is best kept in the tin for about a week before eating, to allow it to become really moist.

Hope this works and that you enjoy it. :)
