So as I was born in the North of England, Yorkshire puddings were and still are a staple of any Sunday dinner, here I am going to show you how easy and simple it is to make the most amazing, fluffy Yorkshire puddings even your grandma with want the recipe for.
Starting of with a few simple ingredients, most of which can already be found in your pantry so no need to go out to the supermarket with a list to buy.
its so quick you will be asking yourself why you ever bothered with buying the pre-made ones.
Ingredients;
- 140g plain flour
- 4 eggs
- 200ml milk
- sun-flour oil (or canola oil works to, actually any oil will work to be honest)
- salt and pepper to taste
method:
1) Preheat your oven to 220 degrees.
2) In a muffin dish pour a little oil into the bottom of each muffin hole, not to much but enough to cover the bottom
3) Place the muffin dish in the oven to allow the oil to heat up (its important that the oil is hot before adding the batter otherwise your Yorkshire puddings wont rise and you will be left with some sort of soggy pancake type thing)
4) Whilst the oil is heating up its time to make the batter, so in a big mixing bowl add all the flour and and the 4 eggs and whist it until its a smooth consistency
5) Once you have a smooth consistency, slowly add the milk a little at a time and keep mixing it again until you have a smooth pour-able batter
6) Add salt and pepper if you wish at this point
7) Now you have your Yorkshire pudding batter, its less messy if you pour this batter into a jug beofre filling your muffin tray
8) The oil should be hot enough at this point (it usually takes about 10 mins in the oven) so quickly and carefully pour the batter on top of the hot oil, about 1 cm into each hole and put the tray back in the oven.
9) Now let your Yorkshires work there magic and make sure not to open the oven door to let any heat escape, leave them in there for about 20-25 mins or until golden brown, puffed and fluffy.
10) After 25 or so mins carefully remove the Yorkshire from the pan and serve along side your next roast dinner.
Also they can be frozen so if you have any leftovers pop them into a Tupperware container and you can freeze them for up to 4 weeks.
