For Helen and San, Yorkshire Parkin Recipe.

I forgot to say that my OH used two yogurt pots for the treacle and syrup, he put them on the scales first to make it easier.

Thanks Yorkshire, will try it when I get some oatmeal.

my neighbour gave us ours at we could not get it at the coop or morrisons.

Isnt it nice to have neighbours like that !

thanks very much Yorkshire , I am going to make one today.

Thanks for recipe,

well I hope it turns out o.k. for you who make it, I am a dab hand if I may so so at cooking and baking but Parkin is one thing I cannot get right, used my Mother in laws recipe which was full proof, it was still a flop, so I just gave up trying to master it, not tried making it for years now. so good luck all.

thats great thanx yorkshire, adding to favs so i can get to it with ease ;o)

hope you have better luck than me San.

welcome bak Mark,!!! as daft as ever I see. Lol

oooh that looks lovely

thank you

Ah Ha , thanks for the recipe Yorkshire , I will have a go at making it myself :o)

What is a fan oven Yorkshire? Would it be what we call a convection oven I wonder? And I am assuming that the 140 and 130 are degrees celsius? My oven is in Farenheit so I'll hve to convert.

Hi Gilli, my husband said that 140 degrees celcius = 275 Farenheit, and yes a fan oven is a convection oven, hope this helps,

my wall double oven has a conventional oven at the top and a fan oven at the bottom , I always still have to stop to think about the temp . the Parkin is safely tucked up in the top Conventional one and smelling gorgeous ,I can't wait to see what it turns out like .. :-)

I do hope its a success, I would like to see it also, and I know my OH would Amy,

Thanks to your hubby Yorks. I have a little convection oven as well as the conventional one so no worries.

Yum yum yum........Looks delicious.

thank you

You stirred me into doing some cooking so I've made a granary loaf. Nearly forgot to take it out of the oven too as I was chatting on the phone. WHOOPS!!

photo and recipe please.

lol lindak, i do it all the time but not on phone , but with beer, burn everything , but i will say not had granary loaf for 20 years bet its so so nice . yorkshire make us some 2, lol ill do a trade lol // or lindak can send me some :))

watch him Lin, he will want to trade you for car tyre plant pots.

Car tire planters are at least better than ones made out of old toilets!! LOL

your right there gilli, old toilets, how awful

Looks terrible Yorks....Can't imagine why anyone would want them in their gardens.

Just bog standard plant pots I expect. LOL. Now..... as far as bread goes I cheat and use the Wrights bread mixes and they come out super,,,,,,,they do a range of different loaves as well. They also do a ginger cake mix that I add stem ginger to and a fudge chocolate cake mix that is very tasty and I am going to have a go at Christmas at turning into a black forest gateau by slicing it adding some whipped double cream with a dash of brandy and adding some morello cherries. I do have a go at making cakes from recipes and will be making a Christmas cake next week. I used to make a Christmas pudding but I usually get one from the shops now.

Oooo....that reminds me Linda, thank you. I will have to go and find a tiny little Christmas pud for my Dad. He loves it with custard. I won't attempt trying to make one....something I've never been successful with. :o(
