STICKY PARKIN

Heat your oven to 180 deg C
Spray and line a 9" square pan with baking paper .
Mix together in a large bowl 250gm of flour , 2 tsp of baking powder , 2 tsp of ground ginger , 1 tsp of ground cinnamon .
Stir in 250 gm of oatmeal ........set aside .
Place in a pan over a low heat 180 ml of treacle , 120gm of marg /butter ,180 gm of soft brown sugar , stir occasionally until the marg /butter has melted .
Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and gradually add the treacle mixture and then add 1 beaten egg and 150ml of milk .
Beat the mixture well until smooth .
Pour into the pan and place in the oven for 1 hour .
Allow to cool slightly in the pan and then turn out onto a wire rack .
Store in an airtight tin for a week , to allow it to become really moist ....hence the name ' sticky '.
It can be served sliced on its own or with butter .
