how do i make the perfect yorkshire pudding

[Angel41]

2 heaped tablespoons of plain flour 2 eggs mix them together then add pasteurised milk and a small amount of water,whisk it all together until you have a runny batter mix. gas mark 7 for 20/25 minutes unless your doing toad in the hole then its gas mark 5 for 1 hour to make it extra tasty add some chopped onion to the batter mix before putting it in the oven.

After years of using right recipe but having puds that quickly deflated I found the answer - the secret is to have your fat almost smoking before adding the batter, then whatever happens in the oven don'topen it! I also prefer to have individual puds rather than 1 big one. 50g plain flour, 1 egg, 150ml milk (or milk + water for lightness) oil for greasing. Depending on oven takes about 15-20 minutes.

I always let my batter settle for an hour os so in the fridge and very hot oil

I use Marvel with the water,it makes the pudds much lighter.

my mam swears by letting the batter settle first and adding a pinch of salt - it seems to work!

What is it that the Two Fat Ladies made what they called "authentic" Yorkshire Pudding, made exactly as my mother made it, but doesn't resemble these descriptions tall atall?

For years my Yorkies were a joke, I have now perfected the art. Use muffin tins which are deeper, make sure the oil is really hot and use at least 2 eggs to 4 heaped tablespoons of plain flour. No need to rest the batter or add water, open the oven door if you must, with my fan oven it makes no difference, just make sure the oven is nice and hot. Good luck and happy battering!!

if you are anything like me the effort is futile.....ask your mam round for dinner so she can make them or buy frozen ones.....sorry
