Ingredients

Plain White flour	115 g
Medium oatmeal	450 g
Golden caster sugar	230 g
Golden syrup	100 g
Treacle	200 g
Butter, unsalted (Plus a little extra for greasing your tin)	120 g
Baking powder	1 tsp
Ground ginger	1 tsp
Large egg	1
Arla Cravendale Semi-skimmed milk	220 ml

Instructions

Step 1

Heat your oven to 150°C (130°C fan, gas mark 2) and grease (with butter or oil) and line a 22cm square tin with baking paper.

Step 2

Melt your sugar, syrup, treacle and butter over a medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and set aside.

Step 3

Beat your milk and egg together and set aside.

Step 4

Mix all other dry ingredients (flour, oatmeal, baking powder and ginger) in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the melted sugar, syrup, treacle and butter mixture followed by your beaten egg and Cravendale milk mix to your dry ingredients. Stir through until well combined and pour into your tin.

Step 6

Bake for 1hr. Test your Parkin is cooked by poking a skewer into the centre of your bake - if the skewer is clean when removed your Parkin is ready! This can be wrapped and kept for up to five days. Leaving for a couple of days before eating will allow the flavours to intensify and the Parkin to become even stickier (the true sign of a good Parkin). Perfectly enjoyed with a cuppa by the heat of a roaring bonfire!
