Yorkshire Puddings?

10 replies

MrsMuddyPuddles · 11/11/2011 17:07

I?ve only ever encountered these in pubs/restaurants, but am suddenly craving them and will prob pick up a frozen bag when I next go grocery shopping, only... what should I serve with them? I could do roast beef, etc for myself, but DH is now vegetarian, and it seems a bit mean to just serve him side dishes... is there a savory filling or something that?s veggie that people can recommend to go with these things?

I'll eat them with basically anything with a sauce which is why I don't make or buy them. Roasted veg and gravy, any kind of stew/casserole.

They can be used as a kind of sandwich too, for cheese and veg perhaps.

toad in the hole made with 'Cauldron' sausages is delicious

hmm, a winter favorite around here is roasted veg with feta, so I might do that, the yorkshire puddings, and a roast beef for me and leftovers, thanks!

Why would you buy a "frozen bag" when you can make your own ones in about 2 mins?

in lancashire it's fairly common to eat as a sweet (they are basically pancakes)

really nice with golden syrup or jam :)

MrsMuddyPuddles · 12/11/2011 07:53

I've heard that they're hard to make and get nice? Do you have any tips/recipe suggestions?
I may well have to try them as a sweet, workshy!

they are easy to make. google recipies and pick one. one i saw yesterday involved 6 eggs! to make 10 yorkshire puds. they were huge and looked delicious

Dead easy to make and 100% nicer! 4oz plain flour, 1/2 pint milk, 2 eggs, whisk thoroughly, leave to stand for 20+ mins, meanwhile put oil into tin, about a tablespoon in each bun slot if making small ones and put in oven at about 220c for ten mins or so til v v v hot, give mixture a final whisk before pouring into tin and cook for 20/25 min.

Don't buy frozen, they're horrible! If you must buy ready made, the co-op's fresh ones are excellent (and in fact freeze well and taste unlike cardboard despite having been frozen.)

You basically use pancake mix but instead of cooking in a pan, get some oil really hot either in little foil dishes/bun tray, or in a larger dish (esp if making toad in the hole) - use a metal dish, NEVER pyrex! As it's best if you put it directly on the hot hob to keep hot while you pour mixture in, then transfer straight back to hot oven.

You could do them as a side dish, fill with stuffing (another thing veggies don't often get to eat!) or mashed potato and pour over onion gravy. alongside whatever really.

I used to buy frozen too and I think they are fine, but recently started making my own from this recipe and they are more substantial and yummier. I get some very weird shapes!

I am also vegetarian so I have mine with vegetarian gravy, roast potatoes, parsnips and other vegetables (often a mix or roasted and steamed/boiled veg) and sage and onion stuffing or one of the other varieties of stuffing. I think the stuffing really adds flavour and texture to the meal (some might find that weird seeing it's it not stuffed inside an animal). I also have mint sauce with mine (which again some might find weird as I don't have lamb with it). Yumm yumm yumm!
