Re: Parkin biscuits

many different versions of parkin were made all over the country. It just happens that the yorkshire cake recipe is the one that has remained in the mainstream.
it is actually believed that the original recipe for parkin came to britain with the vikings.
And believe it or not st peter's school in york is the only place where it is traditional NOT to eat parkin on bonfire night as it was in this school that Guy Fawkes was educated
