Yorkshire Pudding
As a child I enjoyed Yorkshire pudding so much my mother always made extra so I could take some school the next day along with some cold slices of roast beef.
I just love the eggy, smooth texture of a good Yorkshire pudding. But for years my results were hit and miss. I tried tons of different recipes but never with consistent outcome. Until I stumbled across the below method.
A perfect side for roast beef or roast mustard chicken (or even as breakfast with some jam).
Ingredients
per person
1-2 eggs
equal amount of flour
equal amount of milk
large pinch of salt
oil (or dripping)
Recipe
- First measure out your eggs. Than measure out equal amounts of milk and flour.
- Whisk together the egg and milk.
- Sieve in the flour.
- Add salt.
- Leave to stand for a minimum of 30 minutes in a cool place but not in the refrigerator.
- Heat the oven to 220C.
- Lightly oil your muffin pan. Place it in the oven to heat the oil.
- Once the oil is hot. You add cold water to your batter (about 1 tbsp for 3 eggs) and still lightly.
- Pour the batter in the muffin pan filling each cup about half way.
- Return pan to the oven and bake about 15-20 minutes. If they are quite golden already lower the heat to 175C and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
Tips
- Have all your ingredients at room temperature
- Try to avoid opening your oven door whilst the Yorkshire puddings are cooking
