Yorkshire Parkin
Recipe by Ellisha, Early Childhood Education and Care (2nd Year Undergraduate)
The Pantry
- 225g plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 110g margarine
- 215g oatmeal
- 10g porridge oats
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 225g sugar
- 240ml milk
A Proper Bake
1. The Rub: Mix flour and margarine. Add baking powder and ginger.
2. The Mix: Add oats, sugar, and salt.
3. The Sweetness: Stir in syrup, then milk.
4. The Bake: Bake at 160°C for 50–60 minutes.
5. The Best Bit: Once baked, allow to cool slightly and enjoy warm or cold — optionally serve with hot or cold custard for extra comfort.
A Recipe from the Heart
This recipe has been passed down through my family — from my great grandmother, to my nan, and now to me. I would love for others to try it and enjoy this cake as much as we do, as it carries so many memories of home and togetherness.
