Yorkshire Parkin (Oatmeal Gingerbread)
1 1/2 cup (8 oz) medium oatmeal (this
Means ground oatmeal, not
Rolled oats)
1 1/2 cup (8 oz) whole-wheat flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Ground ginger
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 cup (4 oz) apple sauce
1 1/2 cup (8 oz) brown sugar
1/3 cup (5 oz) black treacle (a kind
Molasses)
1/3 cup (4 oz) golden syrup You
Could substitute molasses
For both of these, I guess.
1 Egg white or substitute,
Lightly beaten
1/2 cup (4 fl oz) skimmed milk or
Substitute
Parkin is a variety of gingerbread, good warming stuff to eat out of
doors in cold weather. When I was a child, it was always a firm
favourite for the firework party on Bonfire Night each year. This is
adapted from my mother's recipe.
Method:
Prepare 2 1-lb loaf tins, or an 9x9 inch square tin, by spraying with
Pam. Set the oven at 350 deg F (gas mark 4).
In a large bowl, mix together the oatmeal, flour, baking powder,
ginger, and salt. In a small bowl or saucepan, mix together the apple
sauce, sugar, treacle, syrup, and milk, and warm slightly to dissolve
the sugar. Add these to the oatmeal mixture along with the egg white,
and mix together to make a soft mixture of a slow-pouring
consistency, adding extra milk if necessary. Bake for 40-50 minutes,
or until the top springs back when pressed lightly with a finger.
After it has cooled a bit, but before it gets cold, cut it into 2-inch
squares in the tin. Cool the pieces on a wire rack, and store them in
an airtight container.
It tastes better if it is stored for 2-3 days before eating.

Losing weight
If you enjoy eating, but want to become thinner and also develop your all round well-being, without doubt you ought to commence a specially designed sensible daily routine. Theoretically, this should contain 5 standard portions of pulses and vegetables per day and also embrace the correct blend of carbohydrates, proteins, and fat.
When deciding on a meal plan, the most important step is to endeavour to cut back on your intake of fats, refined carbohydrates and salt.
At the start of a diet, people ordinarily focus on supermarket and well known products described as 'low in fat'. To do this is often wrong, seeing that an item can be lowered in fats, but also much too high in calories and carbs.
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. At times in the course of a busy morning, you feel you are peckish but in truth you only want a pure cup of water or juice. The feelings of being thirsty and hungry are quite similar, but one of them ends in bad health and the alternative is healthy.
Rather than thinking about which foods that you really should eliminate from your meal plan, concentrate on the healthy foods which you are able to add to your diet. If you bring in the recommended amount nourishing fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you will find that you feel full and have a much reduced probability of giving in to those unwholesome midday chocolates.
