- 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
- 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.
- Gently melt the butter, molasses and golden syrup with the brown sugar in a pan over low heat until smooth, then cool slightly.
- Mix the flour, oats, ground ginger and baking soda in a bowl, then stir in the melted mixture.
- Beat in the egg and milk to make a soft, wet batter.
- Pour into the tin and bake for 60-70 minutes until a skewer comes out clean and the top springs back to the touch.
- Cool completely in the tin; parkin tastes best if wrapped and left a day or two so it turns dark and sticky.
