As you know I am determined to start cooking things from scratch and next on my hit list was Yorkshire Puddings.
No more Aunt Bessie's for us (well that is the plan)
I trawled the Internet for recipes and they all looked pretty similar and easy enough and this is the one I went for.
125g of plain flour
300 ML of milk
2 eggs
Pinch of salt & pepper
Sieve the flour into a bowl
Make a well and put in the eggs
Then mix until firm
Add the milk and mix thoroughly
Leave to stand for 30 minutes
Oil and pre heat muffin tray
Add Yorkshire pudding mixture and cook for 25-30 minutes
Do not open oven door until they are cooked (as I learnt to my horror last week as I ended up with very flat stodgy yorkshires and I only opened the door for a second)
Makes at least 12 Yorkshire Puddings and I always have some mixture left.
And that's it! Simple and very tasty Yorkshire puddings. Amelia currently will only eat yorkshires so I am judging her as a bit of a expert and she says they are much nicer than Aunt Bessie's so that's good enough for me :)
Update
Ok after my early smugness my yorkshire puddings stopped rising (damn you yorkshire puddings!!)
So after much sulking and head scratching (and the power of Google) I know add 3 eggs rather than 2, make sure my oven is on full wack, get my oil sizzling before I add the mix and then turn the oven down once the mix has been in for 10 minutes and (touch wood) they have been great since.
