First Attempt 1915 Yorkshire Parkin Recipe
Welcome Friends! Welcome to Sunday morning and the old cookbook show. Today we're going to do a recipe out of the Five Roses Flour Cookbook, and this is a little bit different than the other Five Roses Cookbooks that
we've used so far. This one is from 1915, so right at the beginning of World War one, and it is also very much a community cookbook. It says right here at the front carefully chosen from the contributions of over 2,000 successful users of Five Roses Flour throughout Canada. So these are recipes that have been submitted to the cookbook and you really can tell that because, the recipe we're going to do today which is a Parkin, there are four parking recipes on this page. Each one a little bit different each one that would reflect the differences in family taste.

1 pound coarse oatmeal
½ pound lard
½ pound cooking sugar
