A ginger cookie for Ronnie Barker

Barker's Fork Cookie recipe

Ronnie Barker was, without doubt, one of the UK's funniest TV comedy actors for well over 30 years. With his partner and foil, Ronnie Corbett, he dominated the TV sketch show scene from the mid 70's. Later as Arkwright, the stuttering, domineering shopkeeper in 'Open All Hours' with David Jason and as Norman Stanley Fletcher, the prisoner always trying to get one over on the warders in 'Porridge', he continued his domination of the genre. He died in October 2005 at the grand age of 76.

To mark his passing, here is a typically English biscuit, with a little twist.
