Method

  1. Take a half pint glass and fill with plain flour, pour into a bowl. Fill the glass with milk and pour that into the bowl. Crack eggs into the glass until it's full and add those (about 6). Add a good pinch of salt and whisk thoroughly.
  2. Rest the mix in the fridge for 15 minutes then sieve into a jug.
  3. Heat the oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9.
  4. Put your pudding tins (muffin tins for small puddings or individual Yorkie tins for large) in the oven for 3 minutes to heat up. Add a little groundnut or sunflower oil to each tin then half-fill them with pudding mix.
  5. Cook for 5-7 minutes then turn the oven down to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and cook for another 10-15 minutes. When they are crisp and cooked through, turn the puddings upside down and cook for another 2-3 minutes to brown the bottoms.

    Tried this in lieu of my usual Yorkshire Pudding recipe [which is 2 eggs, 4oz flour, half pint milk/water 50/50 and salt to taste. Important that the mix stands for at least an hour.] No comparison, always get compliments for my recipe, everyone thought this was to heavy, mind these were serious Yorkshire folk who know a thing or too about Yorkshire Puddings! Seriously, F1mad, if you have to use a muffin tin then you have lost the plot. Moral of the tale ...never experiment when you have guests, go tried and tested!

    I haven't made Yorkies in years due to some very hit-and-miss experiences, but this recipe has changed all that. Worked beautifully first time, and every occasion since! Produced beautiful, light, towering puddings. Sunday lunches just got infinitely better!

    As a Yorkshire girl living in Cheshire, everyone just assumes I have 'the Knowledge' but my yorkies have been very hit & miss over the years until now. I thought this recipe was brilliant & so simple. We had a lovely St. Georges day dinner. By the way F1mad - you do them in whatever tin you like as long as they work and you enjoy them. Isn't that the point of cooking?
