I’m a Yorkshire lass and when I was younger the whole street would celebrate bonfire night together and we go into each other’s houses and eat the different foods that Mums had prepared such as toffee apples, Yorkshire Parkin, treacle toffee, jacket potatoes, it was all community spirited back then. We’d enjoy a street bonfire with a guy Fawkes ( that us youngsters made) and fireworks! This recipe has brought back those memories, thanks for sharing Keith!
I make a version of this substituting the oats with a good quality muesli, also add a heaped teaspoon of cocoa powder, not authentic, but a very tasty variation.
I just remembered Parkin! It popped into my head for some reason and so my wife and I looked it up and found your lovely video on how to make it. I vividly remember having this as a boy in Lancashire but my wife had never even heard of it. We will definitely be trying your recipe so thank you for the well made video. By the way..... I think Bonfire Night is more about celebrating catching Catesby, Fawkes et at... mind you I can see why you thought otherwise ha ha.
I bought this at a church bake sale this summer and the lady couldn't explain what it was (she didn't make it.) I am going to use this recipe for my Christmas gifts. I'm tired of making peanut butter balls anyway.
My husband’s grandmother made this. She was from Huddersfield. I had to learn to make this before he would marry me, along with Yorkshire Pudding. Happy to say I passed the test. He seems to remember she used the steel cut oats.
So my mother and I took a trip to Dover England, then to London in November many years ago. We were both excited to try new foods, however what we came across was what we ate back home in the Midwest except for the fish and chips. I wish we could have bought this in a shop somewhere and tried it. Maybe this is not sold in shops, if not, you guys are losing out on money because one of the things people who are traveling want is to try foods from that region. Fish and Chips are famous there and I'm glad I tried it, and loved it, best in the world, as is your tea! Thank yo for the recipe and the brief history behind this cake.
This looks great! The lighting and video quality were excellent in this one. I knew about Guy Fawkes Day but didn’t realize it’s also Bonfire Night. Always learning on this channel’
This is a very good video! My second time watching. I guarantee the algorithm du jour deranked it when Keef took it down temporarily which is unfair in my opinion,
You can make golden syrup by adding 0.25 teaspoon of citric acid to 1 Kg of boiling sugar syrup. When the sugar is nearly all dissolved, it will froth up and go all over the stove and floor. Only fill the saucepan one third full and be ready to move it off the heat.
I can smell it baking through the screen. I did mine yesterday (Friday) for the bonfire party on Monday night in Bradford. Did you hear about the Yorkshireman who drove his family to see a firework display? They pulled up into a field and an attendant started to show them where to leave the car, then came over to collect the money. The Yorkshireman wound down his window and said, "Nah, then owd cock! 'Ow much is it for t' parkin'?" "£5, sir", replied the parking attendant. "Bigger that!" Says our hero, "I'll just 'ave a bag o' bonfire toffee!" I'll get my coat.
My dad loved Ginger Parkin (as do I)and begged me to make it along with tea cakes. Shame I never figured out malt loaf before they both passed but I have now and shared with the local expats and I even found lurpak butter at an import store 👍💕😋
Thank you! I've been wanting to know how to make Parkin for a long time. My friend's husband is from Yorkshire and it's a favourite of his. Now I can make it for him! What are the baking instructions for the loaf tin version? And how big a loaf tin? I have a large one for bread and a smaller size one.
Probably the longer time, 75 minutes, but check with a skewer 15 minutes before the end. Size, can't really say, but you mixture should three-quarters fill the tin.
I didn't know Guy Fawkes had his own cake! Lovely. Thank you for the interesting bits of information that you share with each recipe. Could you do Bacon Buddies sometime? I think that's the right name - I heard about this from colleagues in our office in England. It sounds simple but yummy and I'd like to see/hear your take on it. Thanks!
Well done Keef. My mum used to make Parkin back in the sixties when I lived in South Kirkby and went to Don Valley High School at Scawthorpe. Can't have been far from you?
My Sister and Brother-in-law's wedding anniversary is November 5th. She jokingly says that it is nice that you fine British people celebrate with them 😂
Keef! You need to promote your other videos, especially the obvious tie ins! Your homemade golden syrup video is perfect for those of us who are golden syrup deprived. :) Homemade golden syrup video: th-cam.com/video/mYMOF6LH9Qo/w-d-xo.html And the written version: www.keefcooks.com/recipe_detail.php?title=how-to-make-golden-syrup Hello to Mrs. Keefcooks! Love the sweater, looks super comfy. :D Yay! You didn't disappoint me by having sparklers at the end. :)
I thought treacle and molasses were not interchangeable. Only because of the taste. In America we have a few different molasses types and then there is sorghum. Which is molasses like but sweeter. Which do you think would work best for this?
Eustacia vye's favorite day or least favorite? Thanks Keefe i allways assumed it was a Druid thing. Hardy never mentioned the origins of the day in his novel. I wonder if it was for political reasons at the time he authored "Return of the Native"? Thanks for the recipe and History lesson. 🍻 from 79°F California. 👍
I always make a cake for our daughter’s birthday, and we have a second child with a scheduled C-section for... the 5th of November. So the birthday cake will be the appropriate type. I’m a damn Yankee, though the family name has been traced to somewhere near Scarborough, so at some point I should make a regionally appropriate version.
Lol celebrating his attempt to blow up parliament! Love the humour Keef (Celebrating the plot was foiled and King James 1st survived an attempt on his life).

Made a tray for mother’s union for my female friend at local hall. They loved it nothing left.
I'm looking forward to trying the recipe. The end bit with the missus was endearing.
Great bonfire explanation, made me chuckle.

Well done! I've always wondered what is meant by 'steel cut oats' - nearly all blades are made of steel, so what's the big deal?
Great recipe keef

Parkin is very much a north of England thing, and it's also seasonal - mostly consumed October/November.

Thrice watched and I’m going to make this at home for good measure;-)
You could be right!

When the sugar is nearly all dissolved, it will froth up and go all over the stove and floor.

Me and my Mrs could eat this all year round
Looks fantastic!

I'm completely ignorant about molasses and sorghum, sorry.
@@Keefcooks that's ok thank you.
So Parkin is a sort of dense ginger cake?
The ginger flavour is nowhere near as strong as in actual ginger cake.
Mum used to leave it for a week.
Eustacia vye's favorite day or least favorite?
Thanks Keefe i allways assumed it was a Druid thing. Hardy never mentioned the origins of the day in his novel. I wonder if it was for political reasons at the time he authored "Return of the Native"?

Happy Guy Fawkes Day/Bonfire Night. Stay warm? 🔥

I’m a damn Yankee, though the family name has been traced to somewhere near Scarborough, so at some point I should make a regionally appropriate version.
Good luck!
Parkin fine. I'll get me coat....
Ouch!

How much milk...the written recipe doesn't say.
The video says 100ml - just under half a cup
Just made this looking nice 👍👍👍👍
Thats a LOT of baking powder and bicarb.....
