Title: yorkshire puddings
Post by: LILLILEAF on January 23, 2018, 05:38
Do you have a recipe that works?,those puddings when nice are fantastic with roast beef,but most of the time they out wit you and go badly wrong >:(.
I use the same recipe,last time they were like pancakes this time they were so big they were trying to get out of the oven  :lol:.But they were so good :)

I’m from Yorkshire, so I just bung it all in & mix it up, let it stand for a few hours if there’s time, then get the tins/dishes & fat really hot,pour in & stand well back,,& don’t open the oven until they are done

If you open the oven while they are cooking they will fall.
This way, measuring with a tea cup, is how I remember mum making hers - and it has to be meat dripping for the best flavour. Sometimes there were only sausages with the Yorkies on a Sunday - but it smelt like a proper roast dinner to the neighbours  :nowink:

I do 3 eggs measured into a jug then the same in flour and milk and water , seasoning , i just mix and put straight in the hot oven in a muffin tin but also found the deeper the tin the better the rise , and tryed bread flour and they were brilliant top of the oven depending how much room you have i do next shelf  down so i can get them out , they freeze well if you dont eat them all if you need less just do 2 eggs and the equivalent flour and fluid .
