It's just gone in the oven an Ave 50 mins to decide whether to leave it in an extra 10 mins for a crunchy top.

crunchy or soggy. Oh the difficult decisions I have to make.

Valid question

 

[richart]

I thought parkin was what Londoners did with their cars

 

[louise_a]

Parkin should be soft and sticky, crunchy just doesn't sound right to me.

 

[Tashyboy]

Right ave just put me iron down, screamed at the telly and pulled me Parkin out of the oven.
Ave gone for the soggy version although it will be three days before it passes my lips.
If I had used my head I could of left it all in the mixing bowl coz it was divine licking it out. Am sure there's a bit of sticky oatmeal in me Tash that Missis T can have nibble on later.
roll on Saturday, Parkin with a mug of steamy tea.:whoo:

If you can, leave it in the tin for a week before eating it.......I guarantee you won't be able to leave it that long!!

My mum used to make it specially for bonfire night back in the 60s/70s. Not had any for years though.

It is so much more than that. As has been mentioned it used to be a bonfire night thing. You don't see it much now. Lovely,gooey, sticky stuff.
