Any one got a receipe for yorkshire pudding???!
Answers: my first sunday lunch :-)
Yorkshire's Brian Turner's grandmother's recipe is a good one cos it's easy to remember and it works :
1 cup plain flour
1 cup eggs
1 cup milk & water mixed 50:50
1 tbsp malt vinegar
pinch salt
Whizz or whisk - leave 20 mins if u want - the most important factor is to set ur oven to it's highest temperature - put ur roasting tin or yorkshire pudding moulds into the oven with some vegetable oil in the bottom for about 10 mins until smoking. Bring out the tin carefully and put it on lit burners on top of the stove so that the temperature of the oil doesn't drop as you are messing around pouring the batter into the tin. Or work very quickly! Fill to about half to three quarters the way up the tin. Return to the oven for about 30 mins - keep your eye on it after about 20 minutes.
Good Luck!
Google Delia online..
aunt bessy!
Just go to the supermarket and buy some batter mix! It will tell you the directions on there.
Not really but if you want to cheat get Aunt Bessie's ready made yorkshire puddings...i think theyre frozen but my god theyre good
My mum does amazing home made ones but she uses these sometimes and i honestly cant tell the difference!
Oh dear I sound like a really cheesy advert!

INGREDIENTS
4 eggs
250 g all-purpose flour
475 ml milk
60 ml vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Whisk in the flour one cup at a time until frothy and well blended. Set aside.
Distribute the oil equally among 12 muffin cups, a little over a teaspoon per cup. Place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until smoking. Remove from the oven and quickly ladle about 1/4 cup of batter into each cup.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven. Serve immediately.
4oz plain flour sifted half pint of milk 3 eggs & lard.
place the sifted flour into a bowl break in the eggs one at a time and adding a little of the milk with each egg and beating gradually adding all of the milk. You will be left with a gloopy looking mixture. leave to rest in the bowl for at least 2 hours at room temperature. heat your oven to its highest setting and place a small lump of lard in each of your yorkshire pudding tins and place near the top of your oven when the lard has melted pour the mixture into the tins and bake for approx 30 minutes but do not open the oven to look at them as this will make them sag. Good luck.
p.s dont ever wash your yorkshire pudding tins (this is a trick I picked up from my grandmother)
no
8oz plain flour, 3 eggs, 1/4pt milk and salt and pepper.
Beat the eggs, milk and salt and pepper together then add to the flour and mix. Try to make it at least an hour before cooking and leave in fridge to get really cold.
Make sure you heat some oil in a pan in the oven on about 220 degrees until it's smoking. Take batter mix out of the fridge, give it another quick mix and pour into the smoking hot oil. Once in the oven don't open the door until they are cooked otherwise they will sink. Cook for about 20-25 Min's.
you cant beat aunt bessy's ready made ones, buy some and throw away the box and say you made them
First heat the oven to the hottest it will go. Take 2 eggs and about 2 cups of STRONG plain flour. mix together then add water and a teaspoon of salt to get the batter to a thin runny consistency. Heat your fat or oil (about 0.5 cm deep in your dish or dishes) until smoking hot. Pour in the batter leaving about 2cm space at the top of the dish. na cook until well risen and brown.
Sorry not so much a recipe as a state of mind.
Aunt Bessy should burn in hell. She's taken away the ability to make very simple food.
As for pancake mix, for goodness sake!
My Mother in law is from London and she makes the best Yorkshire Puddings.
I just asked her for you and this is what she told me.
1 egg
? Cup of Self Rasing FLour
Salt & Pepper
1 Cup of Milk.
Mix all ingredience together on high speed with a mixer & Put the mixture into the fridge for atleast 30 mins.
Put the oven on very high with oil in the bottom on your pan or (Muffin tin) if making individual servings.
Once the oil is bubbling in the bottom of the pan, take the mix from the fridge and add about a tablespoon of very cold water and mix again. (Mum says it makes them rise really well).
Then add the mixture into the pan with the oil and bake until golden brown, it usually takes about 30 mins less if your using the muffin tins.
Best of luck making them! Enjoy!!!
OK If nobody else knows. The problem is that one egg's worth makes rather a lot so you may need to freeze some to use later.
The batter is made from 1 egg, 4oz plain flour and a quarter pint of milk and water. (Traditionalists use all water). The quantities aren't critical so you can guess. Beat the batter (a food processor of liquidiser is easier) then let it stand for half an hour.
Now here's the critical bit. You need the oven to be hot (gas mark 6) and you need to pre-heat a metal tray or bun tins. Put in a little cooking oil. Add the batter and cook at the top of the oven until they are risen and brown. They usually only take a minute or so.
You can use exactly the same batter for making pancakes.
Make sure your pan dripping are very hot in order to make a good Yorkshire pudding.
Yorkshire Pudding: After removing meat from the oven, increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Measure pan drippings. If necessary, add enough cooking oil to drippings to equal 1/4 cup; return to pan. In a mixing bowl combine 4 eggs and 2 cups milk. Add 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat with an electric mixer or rotary beater until smooth. Stir into drippings in roasting pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until puffy and golden. Cut into 12 squares. Serve at once with roast.
Fool proof recipe take:- 2 eggs - measure them in a jug and using the same jug measure the same amount cold milk and same amount PLAIN flour, pinch of salt. Using whisk combine all ingredients to a smooth batter, leave to stand 10 minutes, make sure your pudding tins are well oiled and hot before adding batter, top shelf of hot oven
well the easiest and best by far is
preheat oven to 425F/220C/Gas 7
1 cup flour
4 eggs
1 cup milk
salt
put a teaspoon of oil or drippings in each tin..or to be truly yorkshire..a couple tablespoons in a large roasting tin...place in the oven until drippings are hot and beginning to smoke...meanwhile mix the rest of the ingredients and beat till the consistency of double cream.....you can add some mixed dried herbs to give a little savoury flavour...take the tin out of the oven and put on a low light while adding the batter so as not to cool the drippings...pour in the batter..remember they will puff so dont fill tins completely full...put tin back into the oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes till puffed up and crisp...to be true yorkshire they should be served as a first course with tons of savoury gravy.....the idea was to fill you up on the cheap stuff so you wouldnt want so much of the expensive meat!!!!!!!! Any left overs can be served later with golden syrup!!!!
Yorkshire Pudding
Serves 4
Preparation time less than 30 mins
Cooking time less than 10 mins
Ingredients
vegetable oil
290ml/? pint milk
4 eggs, beaten
255g/9oz plain flour, sifted
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
2. Grease a Yorkshire pudding tin with a little vegetable oil. Place the tin in the oven to preheat.
3. Place the milk, eggs and seasoning in a bowl. Stir well to combine.
4. Whisk in the flour.
5. Remove the tin from the oven. Pour in the batter, filling each case only three quarters full.
6. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until puffy and raised.
7. Remove the puddings from the oven and serve.
You must use PLAIN flour, otherwise they will be solid and not rise.
For a small amount use 1 egg, equal quantity of milk and plain flour. Measure them out in a cup. Beat together, doesn't take long and allow to stand for a while.
Make sure the bun tins are very hot with a little oil in them or they will stick. Hot oven 200 C or 425 F. should do the trick
