yorkshire puddings

Hi Rosa, sorry for the delay in replying.
You are spot on - its more like bread than Yorkshire Pud. So lesson learned - I have to get plain flower and pop in lots of eggs to make it rise.
I will persevere as I am enjoying the bread that resulted!
Many thanks!
Roy

 

hi royster for you i would use for the yorkshire pud mix 6ozs plain flour and i did them again using six eggs worked fine, you will get quite a few with this batter mix and have some left over for freezing to keep for another day rosa

 

had to laugh when you said you were going to use wholemeal flour, couldnt imajine having that in a hot oven, did you eat it :D :D

 

Hi Rosa,
thanks indeed for your reply!
Okay then... you laughed about my attempts with wholemeal flour and what have you.
Mmm... maybe I am pretending I am married after all (previous threads) cos it seems I cook like a batchelor with no abilitly whatsoever.

Long story really Rosa but anyhow, I will try again with the correct products and will get back to you because I will be successful with the Yorkshire Pud!
I will be successful... I will be successful...

Many thanks indeed!
Roy

P.S. I may be inclined to throw in a little bit of chilli when I can get my hands on the good stuff.

 

hi royster, yes you will succeed i am very confident of that, when i get my digi will have to take a pic of my yorkshire puds to show you :D :D when are you going to make them the proper attempt with the correct ingredients.

 

royster, whole meal flour is too heavy for york.pud.stick to the tried and tested recipi

 

fancy its the only flour royster had in maybe he has been for the plain flour since he did that, you just have to laugh :D :D

 

I'll stick with the pud mix as then I can't go wrong, can I Rosa?!

I used the wholemeal stuff cos it was 5 in the morning when I felt the urge to do the cooking and yes - it was all the flour there was in my house and the wholemeal stuff is also organic so cost me a fair whack and I thought it best be put to use somehow.

I'll now have to find a pretty simple recipe where I can use the wholemeal organic.

Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Kind regards
Roy

 

hi royster, did you get the plain flour, i did some more used 6ozs plain flour and 6 eggs turned out fine with pinch of salt & pepper and of course your milk, make sure you give mixture a good whisk so there is no lumps and dont forget little lard in each tin and let it be hot oven and lard in tins sizzle at least 10 mins. yorkshires should just take about 20 mins.

 

go on to delia smiths website you have to register and you will find recipes for breads on her site, think it is, www.delia smiths.co.uk

 

Rosa, thanks for the info!
Is it possible to improvise on the lard as I'm not sure if I am a lardy sort of person? Can I use olive oil or butter maybe?

I'm pretty hot with the old omellettes so I would think a proper whisking of the eggs will not be a problem.

Many thanks!
Roy

 

never used either of these, try a little butter i think as far as i can gather olive oil will burn too much in a hot oven.just whisk the whole ingredients together, your welcome hope they turn out ok for you

 

Guess what I am going to make for lunch tomorrow? Think I will try yours first Rosa as you started it off, then next time yours Celia. I always only ever heard of using plain flour. Years ago I had a bad run with my Yorkies and started putting baking powder in the mix, and they got worse and worse. Then my Auntie came over to visit me and said to stop the baking powder bit, and since then all fine.
I read about putting thyme in Yorkies last week and wanted to try them out before posting the recipe here.

 

your aunty was right baking powder is a no no in yourkshire puds, thyme is ok dont use it myself will have to try it. good luck enjoy

 

Hi Rosa,my wife Ann has looked every where for the receipe for Steak and Kidney pie,just the basic,not with all these fancy bits added,any ideas?
