So what's the difference between parkin and Yorkshire parkin? The answer appears to be the use of oatmeal. So... this recipe is from my handwritten recipe book and I have no idea on the source. I know the quantities are huge, so I've cut them down into more sensible sized slabs according to the eggs... dividing 3 eggs per 1kg of oatmeal and flour does leave some of the ingredients with odd measurements, but that's why. I made the 3 egg version by the way! This batter also... Read more ..read more

There have been times when I've made something a couple of times and for some strange reason, this last time came out, well, for lack of a better term, a fail in my eyes.

I thought that I'd throw this out there to get feed back from the kind, knowledgeable, capable folks here at CD. I made two "half-sized" Bundt cakes with one... Read more ..read more

For a variety of reasons, I am getting into the use and consumption of gluten-free flours. I already use rice flour and maize flour, but I recently came across Teff flour.

Do any of you already use it? Thanks in advance for your help ..read more
