Yorkshire Pudding....

Here's mine.
It's a modified version of Mrs Beetons - uses more milk to get the batter to pour easier. It makes individual puddings - easier to get right and less likely to be soggy in the middle. I don't go to the extent of roasting the meat over the pan so the grease drips in either...

4oz plain flour
pinch salt
1 egg
10fl oz milk

Put the flour in a bowl make a well, add the salt.
Put the egg in the well with 1/2 the milk.
Beat until smooth
Beat in the rest of the milk.

Now here's the trick - leave it covered at room temperature for an hour.

Oven preheated to 425.
Use a muffin pan - the kind that makes 12 small muffins. Non-stick is best.

For the next bit, traditionally you'd use beef dripping, but here I substitute olive oil. You can use a different oil, but it needs a high smoke point.

Put enough olive oil in each of the cups in the pan to just cover the bottom. Put it in the oven until the oil is just smoking - so at least 5 minutes.

Divide the batter and put an equal amount in each of the muffin cups. The idea is that it stays hot, so don't hang around. Put it back in the oven and leave for 25 minutes. If you have a convection oven, cut that back to about 18. Do not open the door.

After that time, you can take them out and eat them. The tops will be dark brown, but not burnt. If they are burnt, your oven is too hot or you can't tell time...

Eat with gravy, jelly or what ever you like!
Enjoy.

Alana,

I'm giving your recipe a go. It is a bit different than mine, but yours makes sense. I've a roast in the freezer, so out it comes, to thaw. I figure Sunday we will have some lovely pudding to go with the roast.

Thanks for the recipe!
