MY MUM'S EASY AND TRADITIONAL ENGLISH YORKSHIRE PUDDING



My Mum's Easy and Traditional English Yorkshire Pudding image

Exactly as the title says, this is my Mum's Traditional English Yorkshire Pudding recipe and it is so easy. It is slightly different from my Toad-in-the-Hole batter recipe, the Yorkshire puddings in this recipe are lighter. (You need a more substantial batter for the addition of sausages!!) I have held off posting this for a while as it is so easy, but it works -please see my photo's! The great thing about this recipe is that it works on equal measures of volume and so there is no weighing or measuring as such. So, if there are only two of you, use a very small cup - if there are a crowd of you, use a big cup, jug or a mug!! Easy! One tip - ALWAYS make sure the oil/fat is SIZZLING hot before you pour in your batter; preheat your tins with the oil/fat before pouring in your batter......that's about it really! NOTE: (I have made the yield between 8-16 individual Yorkshire puddings, depending on the size cup you use. A tip - 4 beaten eggs will make about 8 to 10 Yorkshires.) N.B. My first reviewer quite rightly stated that Yorkshires are often cooked in a large dish/tin; traditionally UNDERNEATH the meat drippings actually!! But, my grandmother & my Mum also made very Traditional Yorkshires in special tins - as photographed; as I understand it, popovers are baked in smaller diameter tins - Yorkshire Pudding Tins have a diameter of at least 4" wide & generally only have 4 holes in a tray!!

Time 35m

Yield 8-16 Yorkshire Puddings, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup beaten egg
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
salt
pepper
1 -2 tablespoon cooking oil or 1 -2 tablespoon dripping

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 240C,475F or gas mark 9. (If you are cooking roast beef and/or roast potatoes, make sure the beef has been removed to "rest" before carving and that the potatoes are moved down to the bottom shelf and NEED browning still.).
  • Pour a scant amount of oil or dripping into your Yorkshire Pudding tins.(A large roasting tin can be used too. If you do not have a Yorkshire Pudding tin which has 4 wide and shallow cups of about 4" in diameter, then use a large muffin tin.).
  • Put the tin into the pre-heated oven about 5 minutes before you want to cook the Yorkshire Puddings.
  • Empty the flour, salt & pepper into a large roomy bowl.
  • Make a dip in the centre and add the beaten eggs bit by bit, mixing as you go along.
  • Add the water/milk mixture gradually and whisk in between each addition.
  • Keep whisking until all the liquids have been added. The batter may still be lumpy - this does not matter.
  • Cover and leave to rest for up to 1 hour.
  • Just before cooking, whisk thoroughly again to break down any lumps & add some more air.
  • Carefully take out the tin/s. Pour the batter into the tin/s and QUICKLY return to the oven.
  • Cook for about 20 minutes until well risen and golden brown. DO NOT open the oven in the first 10-15 minutes or they will DROP!
  • If you have two tins cooking, rotate the tins from top to bottom shelves after the 10-15 minutes so they cook evenly.
  • Serve with Roast Beef and lashings of gravy!
  • Can also be served with any Roast Dinner - we love them with Roast Chicken - see photos!

BAKED HERB YORKSHIRE PUDDING FROM ENGLISH FIELDS AND HEDGEROWS



Baked Herb Yorkshire Pudding from English Fields and Hedgerows image

This is a delightful pudding, normally eaten at supper time, and it is suitable for vegetarians. It has its origins in Northallerton (North of England) and would have been made from wild herbs, gathered from the hedgerows and fields, and eaten with 'mushy' peas. I found this recipe in a small English regional cookery book - Yorkshire Recipes, and have made it regularly as an alternative to Yorkshire Pudding. Preparation time includes the standing time for the batter.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large onions
1 tablespoon parsley or 1 tablespoon mint
2 tablespoons fresh white breadcrumbs
fresh coarse ground black pepper
salt
10 ounces plain flour (sifted)
1 large egg
1 pinch salt
5 ounces water
5 ounces milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • (Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 180'C / 350'F)
  • Make the Yorkshire pudding batter: Sift the flour into a large bowl . Break the egg into the centre of the heap of flour. Mix the water and the milk together in a jug. Pour the mixture slowly onto the flour and egg. As you start to pour the water/milk slowly beat the mixture together with a whisk. Add the salt and continue to beat. The puddings will be lighter if the batter includes a little air.
  • Once all the ingredients have been beaten together leave to stand, covered by a cloth, for 40 minutes or so.
  • Peel the onions, then boil them in water until they are soft. Allow them to cool and chop them into small pieces.
  • Put the chopped onions into a large bowl. Add the sage, parsley or mint, bread crumbs, black pepper and salt. (Pepper and salt to taste). Blend together the mixture.
  • Now slowly blend in the Yorkshire pudding batter making sure that all is well mixed.
  • Heat the dripping in an oven proof dish or roasting tray and pour over the herby batter mixture.
  • Bake in the centre of the pre-heated oven for 40 minutes until golden brown and well risen.
