  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 70 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (59.7 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 11 g Flour, self-rising
  • 11 g Oats, rolled
  • 7 g Butter, unsalted
  • 7 g Sugar, brown
  • 11 g Molasses
  • 5 g Cane syrup
  • 0.4 g Ginger, ground
  • 0.3 g Baking soda
  • 3 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 4 g Milk, whole

Method

  1. Makes 1 square (1/16 of a tray bake); multiply by 16 for a full batch. Preheat the oven to 140 °C (285 °F) and line a small baking tin.
  2. Gently melt the butter, molasses and golden syrup with the brown sugar in a pan over low heat until smooth, then cool slightly.
  3. Mix the flour, oats, ground ginger and baking soda in a bowl, then stir in the melted mixture.
  4. Beat in the egg and milk to make a soft, wet batter.
  5. Pour into the tin and bake for 60-70 minutes until a skewer comes out clean and the top springs back to the touch.
  6. Cool completely in the tin; parkin tastes best if wrapped and left a day or two so it turns dark and sticky.
