Yorkshire puds

[Yawner247]

Was just wondering if anybody can help...I have 12 people coming for Sunday lunch and was thinking of cooking the Yorkshire puds the night before and then reheating them the following day in the oven just to save time on the day will it work?! Or will they just look like squashed manky puds?! Does anybody do this?

I do this quite often when I have a glut of eggs to finish up. I find that they are better if cooked, then frozen and then reheated, rather than just reheated. They need a blast at 200 for about 8 minutes, straight from the freezer.

I wouldn't do it, to be honest.

I would, though - even though I much prefer making my own - buy the Aunt Bessie's ones that you cook from frozen batter, i.e. not the ones that are already risen/brown.

You get 16 in a box, so you will need 2 boxes, but they are much more 'foolproof' than doing your own. They take 20 minutes to cook

frank is that 200 fan oven?! I really like making my own from scratch so wondered if you could do it! I might do a sneaky few extra aunt Bessie's though

Nah - probs 180 fan. I agree the Aunt B's are good, but I also think mine are better . I just make shed loads when I have sod all to do and half a dozen eggs to get rid of. They freeze brilliantly ime.

Can be done, but TBH if we are doing roast dinner for lots then the meat needs the resting time an d the veg need.the extra blast so it's just as easy to do fresh yorkies.

In the time it takes the meat to rest and for you to sort plates etc you can blast 2 trays of yorkies fresh in the oven.

I move stuffing and roast veg to the warm grill above the oven and then do my yorkies which are then done by the time the gravy has been sieved and everything else served.

They do freeze well though!

thanks for the advice! I will do them fresh I reckon and perhaps try the frozen batch another time when I won't have a houseful!

Just a thought I always rest my batter for about 20 mins and make sure my oven is very hot, my yorkshires are always sky high and crisp, but I am a yorkshire lass.xxx

Thanks vena I rest my batter for thirty mins and have also stuck to the hot oven rule ( saw it on one of the numerous cookery programmes I have seen) my yorkie puds were done fresh an were winners as my nephew told me he's ten! He can come again for dinner!!!
