Idiot-Proof Yorkshire Puddings image

This is more of a formula than a recipe. You can use any measure you like, as long as they are all the same. I just used a cup for ease of demonstration. Once you know how to do it there is no excuse for buying those horrible frozen jobs ever again (as my husband says-they are for people who are too stupid to mix together flour, eggs and milk!) You can also freeze these, then just pop them from the freezer into a hot oven for a few minutes to heat through and crisp up. I make little mini ones for the children and freeze them-a great standby for a quick dinner or a cheats 'Toad in the Hole'. Try it--you'll be wanting to eat roasts more often!

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup plain flour
1 cup beaten egg
1 cup milk
lard or oil

Steps:

  • Mix together the flour, eggs and milk, until well combined. Cover and leave in the fridge for as long as possible-24 hours is good, 60 minutes minimum.
  • Melt blobs of lard/dripping or oil in pudding tin holes-enough that when its melted it comes up the side of the hole about 1/2cm.Remember lard has a higher smoke point than oil, and dripping more than lard, and in this case the hotter you can go, the better.
  • Heat the pan in a HOT oven, until oil/lard or dripping is smoking hot. If need be, heat the pan over a flame over the stove to get it smoking.
  • Remove batter from the fridge and mix quickly, pour into pudding holes. It should sizzle immediately.
  • Place tray in hot oven and do not open the door. Four large puddings take about 20-25 minutes.
  • NB-you can eat these cold with jam too!
