Favourite Yorkshire Pudding Recipes

As above guys.

What is YOUR recipe and how do you cook it?

Many little ones or one big one?

I use the one from the back of the River Cottage Meat Book.

Do this ^^^ too. No real hard and fast recipe.

Timing and a hot enough oven seem to be the main determinants of success. -That and gravy so good you could name a small town after it.

Another vote for Delia. I use a muffin tray and do a couple each.

[casbar]

6 heaped table spoons flower into a mixing bowl
Make a well and add 2 eggs, as is, not beaten
Add salt
Add half a pint of milk as you are whisking
Whisk until all mixed in and batter is kind of frothy
Leave to stand for an hour

When ready to cook, stick a tray into oven with some oil in it to heat up.

Once oil is hot (nearly smoking), remove tray and add batter.

Back into oven until the Yorkies rise and brown

Make sure oven is hot, try not to open oven until Yorkies are well on their way, as you don't want to lose the heat

even easier :

Thirds - never failed me for a massive rise.
Eggs, Flour, Milk.
Equal measures + seasoning

Mix it up an hour or two before needed
All into Milk Plastic Cartoon thing, and shake the fk out of it for 5 mins, and every time you walk past it afterwards.

Yep, if you use a mug as a measure it makes enough for 5 or 6 people (or 4 hungry ones)

[Plotloss]

Flour, eggs, milk

Until it looks about right.

Pour on hotter than the sun oil

Some good recipies here, but I would recommend that you make the batter mix an hour or 2 in advance and leave it to rest.... Don´t know why, but it makes a difference.

Yup and when its time to put the mix into the oven put the batter into a jug. It will save time pouring into the oil stopping your oil from getting as cold as it does when you try to ladel it.
