When you finally perfected the Yorkshire pudding?
I made them tonight and they were like amazing! Massive fluffy things they were (Nigella who??  ) this is the 5th time my Yorkshire puddings have been perfect now.
Does this mean I am finally a proper grown up adult? Like a rite of passage making the perfect Yorshire pudding?
Can you make them? Or is there something else you make that you make that always turns out well

My mum and dad split up when i was 11 and my dad expected me to cook a sunday dinner when we stayed with him. In fairness i did a good job and my yorkshire puddings where pretty good as was my roast potatos but it was trial and error.
I havent made yorkshires for years now so im sure ive lost the knack |

"And, how did you do them?"
Ooh well, here goes;
1 cup of plain flour?
1 cup of milk
4 eggs
Pinch of salt
Whisk it up into a batter
Heat your oiled non stick oven tin in the oven until it's smoking and add the batter, cook for about 15/20 minutes and they should be perfect |

Tell me more about this baking? What is your favourite thing to bake?"
I love baking layered cakes, creating infused icing flavours. However Ive been on a pastry hype lately and been making some incredible cream cakes. |

Missed the recipe post so youve used the traditional recipe mix
However true yorkshire puds need beef dripping as they used to cook under the meat in the oven. |

This would be the recipe for the actual yorkshire pudding mix.
2 heaped serving spoons of flour
2 eggs at room temperature
Milk and water mixed (even parts)
2 tbsp beef dripping
salt.
not everyone is a lover of beef dripping so reduce as required
also experiment with adding dripping into the mix at different levels of table spoons used.
yorkshire pud has a total different taste when dripping is added to it.
yorkshire pudding was used as an extra as meat was always scarce. |

This is definitely a skill that I've perfected too recently. Very proud of my Yorkshire Pudding making skills.
Unpopular opinion - Yorkshires are the best bit of a Sunday roast. |

Is it weird that I find them all a bit..meh? I only use them for mopping gravy up and I can do that with bread and butter.
I do make very good pancakes though. Everyone in our house is happy to let me stand there with the frying pan, doling them out one after another. By the time they have had they're fill, I'm sick of the sight of them!
It's all about butter. Everything tastes better with butter. |

Eggs should always be at room temperature. Never keep them in the fridge. It won't make them last longer."

"Young. As a Yorkshire man, it’s my duty and my destiny "
well young un
You should use the recipes ive suplied and get cooking.
As until youve made them and tried them your not a true yorkshireman, Though if someone makes them from the proper recipe that can be excused.
Both recipes are for good times and bad times in the yorkshire area where food was scarce.
There is one other recipe that uses less milk and more water for yorkshire puddings.
Im looking forward to all your replys on the proper way of cooking yorkshire puddings.
Good luck to you all |

Yorkshire pudding should be made in a single large square tin, then is sliced into oblong pieces and served with gravy as a first course. It is intended to fill up the family, especially the children, before the meat and veg is served, as the meat was always in short supply.
