Method

Mix the dry ingredients together.
Heat the treacle and butter sufficiently to melt the latter.
Mix well.
Leave to stand all night.
Next day put into a shallow baking tin (well greased) and bake in a cool oven for about 2 hours. It is done when the parkin springs back when an impression is made with the finger.
