Postcard biscuits

Our granny went on holiday in the Lake District  last week and sent us a postcard with a recipe on it  for Parkins.

Here is the Cooking Goalie's brother weighing out the ingredients and the Cooking Goalie making sure he is getting it right.

The Cooking Goalie's brother is now asleep while I get on with rubbing the butter into the flour and oatmeal.

(The Cooking Goalie's brother, Jamie, says "I'm boooooooored!)

The mixture was brown sugar, oatmeal, mixed spice and ginger, golden syrup and butter.

Then the mixture was rolled out. By me.

And it was cut into shapes. By him.

We put them in the oven and went outside to play and my mum left them in the oven too long. They were very tasty but rock solid!
