2 yorkshire parkin recipes

Parkin is a variety of gingerbread, good warming stuff to eat out of doors in cold weather. When I was a child, it was always a firm favourite for the firework party on Bonfire Night each year. This is adapted from my mother's recipe.

Yorkshire parkin made with fine oatmeal, golden syrup, lard, ginger, and mixed spice. A traditional sticky English gingerbread that improves after a few days wrapped in foil.
