| YORKSHIRE PARKIN | |
|
Guy Fawkes was a citizen of York and on November 5th his attempt to bomb the House of Parliament is celebrated by burning him in effigy in bonfires while eating baked potatoes, Parkin and toffee. Saint Peter's school in York, which he attended, does not take part in these celebrations saying that they do not burn effigies of past pupils. 2 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder -OR- baking soda 3 tsp. ground ginger 16 oz. med. oatmeal 1 c. molasses (Grandma's) or treacle 4 oz. (1/2 stick) butter 1 c. brown sugar 1 lg. egg 1 c. milk Sift the flour, baking powder and ginger together, then add the oatmeal. Put the molasses, butter and sugar into a saucepan; melt together slowly. Beat the egg with the milk. Add the molasses mixture to the flour mixture and beat well together. Finally add the egg and mix. Mix thoroughly and pour into a deep rectangular cake tin (10x6x3-inches deep) which has been lined with waxed paper and well greased. The mixture should be very soft before cooking in a 325°F oven for 30 minutes then at 300°F for another 30 minutes. Test with a skewer in the center before removing from the oven. Make Parkin a few days before eating it as it has a sticky texture and it is easier to cut into squares. Recipe may be halved (use an 8-inch square pan). Makes about 12 pieces. | |
