LOL! I went to bed and forgot to come back to this!!

I always check Mumsnet for recipes and I need a YP recipe for today.

I know DH is a chef but we have NEVER made yorkshire puds before and when I checked out some recipes from here, MamaG had a YP recipe. The only trouble is that for ingredients it says 4oz plain flour!! and I know there are more ingredients in it than that!!!!

so please post your bestest fabulous recipes here so I can have roast beef and yorkshire puddings for lunch!

TIA

I always add 3 or even 4 eggs to make 12 big yorkshire puddings. It's the egg that makes them rise. I make them in muffin tins.

I don't measure I just add flour, then the eggs and some milk until it's like single cream. Oil in tin and put in the oven until smoking, then fill and bake for about 20 mins or until done.

Thanks Jodie.

So plain flour in bowl, mix in 4 eggs and milk til its like single cream.

Put oil in muffin tin and put in oven til it smokes....add mixture to tin HOW MUCH MIXTURE?

What temperature for the oven?

I dont measure, I put in a jug or mixing bowl early in the morning of you can.

Plain Flour
3 eggs
milk

it must resemble the consistency of single cream. If not add a touch of water.

Put in fridge, take out when you have heated a tin of oil in oven, it must be piping hot. 20 mins,

done

JodieG1 · 08/06/2008 10:17

I fill them up almost to the top.

Collision · 08/06/2008 10:18

oooh you are all very brave with this not measuring thing!!

OP posts:
JodieG1 · 08/06/2008 10:18

Oh and make sure they have lots of room to rise as they will get quite big.

Collision · 08/06/2008 10:18

shall I go and do it now then Shiny?

We want to eat at about 12.30.

OP posts:
Collision · 08/06/2008 10:19

oh heck.....where do I put the beef then and the roast potatoes?

OP posts:
JodieG1 · 08/06/2008 10:19

Personally I've found no difference if you let the mixture stand for a while or if you make it just before you use it.

shinyshoes · 08/06/2008 10:20

yes do it now and put it in the fridge. when cooking them leave room for them to rise.

report back and let us know how it went

good luck

JodieG1 · 08/06/2008 10:20

I usually cook the meat first and let stand cover in foil for a while whilst the potatoes and yokshires are cooking. I time it so that the puddings can go in when the meat comes out.

Collision · 08/06/2008 10:26

What temperature and for how long please?

This is why I always buy Aunt Bessies!!!!

OP posts:
Goober · 08/06/2008 10:29

I always use a hand blender to make sure there are no lumps.
They only take about 30 mins to cook, but I often make them before I put my potatoes in to roast, take them out and then pop them back in to re-heat as I start to dish up.
Good luck.

Collision · 08/06/2008 10:30

OVEN TEMPERATURE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OP posts:
Goober · 08/06/2008 10:31

No particular temperature, just as long as it's over 180c whatever temp you are cooking your meat at is fine.

Collision · 08/06/2008 10:32

Thanks Goober.

Am strangely terrified at the thought of making this YP!!

OP posts:
shinyshoes · 08/06/2008 10:33

oven temp 200 degrees you can get away with 220. but they obviusly need watching, we have a fan oven which cooks quick style.

dunno what gas mark that is sorry

DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DURING THE FIRST 15 MINUTES, this is vital

soremummy · 08/06/2008 10:34

Use fizzy water if you have some makes them rise and very fluffy/light
