Yorkshire pudding dilema
Discussion
Seeing as one of the two meats I am cooking for Christmas is Beef, it would be a shame not to make a yorkie. Something I am normally very good at cooking.
Unfortunately this year I am living in a place with only a single oven - a pain when cooking yorkshire pudding. Whacking the heat up to the right temperature for cooking means I either have to take everything else out of the oven (leading to soggy roasties) or risk burning it all.
I was thinking this year to cook it first - whilst the meat is starting out at the higher temperature I was going to cook the yorkie, then reheat it at normal oven temperature just before service.
Has anyone done something like this? Will it work. I don't have time before Christmas for a trial run, so if this is not a good idea are there any other suggestions?

You can just about get away with decent Yorkies at 25 mins 200c. You just need to make sure you use one of those heavy duty Yorkshire pudding trays, add a drop of oil to each of the moulds & preheat for at least 10 minutes. The pudding batter should be at room temp. I use an equal volume plain flour/egg/milk mix.
You can also cook roast potatoes at 200c.
Spuds & Yorkies can be done in the 45 minutes to 1 hour resting time for the beef joint.

Cook the yorkies whilst the beef is resting.
Also this should be the same time that you are doing your roast potatoes Take the beef out once its done to rest, wack the heat on the oven up and bung in the roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings for 40 mins or so
I'll be doing pigs in blankets, stuffing, roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots all in the one oven so really don't want to risk burning the whole lot.

I never have much luck at 200, even using the fat from the meat so it's already at temperature. I find it needs to be 220-240 or they just don't rise quick enough and I get a thick bottomYou can also cook roast potatoes at 200c.

Id leave everything else get cold or forgo roast potatoes in order to have home made Yorkshire puddings.
Also my mums managed to do Yorkshires for 30 years with only 1 oven..

I'm planning to do 30 odd of them to go with the big chicken on christmas day, for the 5 of us.
My personal record is 16 Aunt Bessie yorkshire puds along with a sunday roast.
Making myself hungry here.
