Yorkshire Pudding

Stick your oven on full and shove in a well oiled huge tray

Chuck some plain flour into a mixing bowl

Add a pinch of salt and 4 eggs...beat the hell out of it and slowly add milk and water (50/50)

When you get to a nice double cream consistency add a finely chopped onion and a teaspoon of sage

Let it stand at room temp for about 40 minutes

Whack it in the boiling hot tray and stick back in the oven for 20 minutes.....DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR until cooked

Serve with lashings of onion gravy


Yummy

Lazy Yorkshire Pudding

All the same ingredients and whack them all into the blender....add chopped onion before going in the oven

She did not make it last night.



Maybe tonight?


I will let you know.

When I used to cook, I found they did'nt rise unless I used a balloon whisk.
So would a food blender be the same as a electric hand mixer?

.double posted sorry

Ginny

Can you please make a pretend one NOW -----and measure a ·CHUCK· of flour and

the amount of 50/50 milk and water

can manage the sage and onion

Thank you

Gins
So by the time you chuck it in the oven, your kitchen stinks and is full of smoke as the oiled tin has been in the oven for 40 mins?

I remember trying to cook toad in the hole once.....& i then knew for definite that i can't cook....I hate it with a passion

No Yorkshire person measures and weighs for a Yorkie

It's all about the consistency of the batter and getting plenty of air into it....a bit more of this or that until you get the right thickness!

Yes Ja...x pop the tin in the oven about 15 monutes before the pudding goes in

Jules

Fanny Craddock couldnt cook Yorkies!

I know that Gins...but your instructions said pop tin in before you had made the batter!!

I never measured anything out either when I made them

ja...x

Well I am in big trouble now


Promised OH his favourite Toad in Hole - ( with onions and sage in his Yorkshire )

How I am going to learn how to make a mix - by tomorrow - when I have not been able to ------apart from a few flukes for the last 40 odd years


Looks like the soggy spongy thing I usually end up with

Who started the Yorkshire pudding chat ----

Hi

cloudy cool day today



Janey .............. I have the 1975 edition of the Joy of Cooking. Use it frequently, but have never tried the Yorkshire Pudding recipe.

The 2 cookbooks I've used for that are the Cheshire Women's Institute Cookery Book, 1965 edition, and the Cannon Cookery Book, 1949 edition.

The latter was left with the gas stove in the house we moved into in 1951 .... and I acquired for my very own when I left home!

I couldn't follow Mum's recipe ....... she had died by the time I wanted to cook YP's, and she measured by a handful of this or that!



Weights don't bother me .......... I learnt to cook at school in England, using measurements. I get more confused with cups!




Actually, you should see my bookshelves ........... one of my souvenirs from places we visited used to be a local cookbook. I have them from all over the world, some I can't even read the language!

I also have several similar to the Joy of Cooking, and also have the Larousse Gastronomique, etc




and I do practically no cooking now!
