As a little girl my entire family used to get so excited at this time of year. As bonfire night approached it also meant present time from my Great Uncle Ian - in the form of good ol' Yorkshire Parkin. If there's one thing us Yorkshire folk are good at it's defo parkin hehe mmmmmmm yummy!!

This what Mini King and I have been baking today whilst Little King was at school. It's best made a good few weeks before needed to allow it time to get nice and sticky. If you are as inpatient (and greedy) as I am double up the mixture so you can make two - one for now and one to save. Yum Yum

Let me know how yours turns out :)
