Re: Dinner's on me.
Really hot oven!
I use a muffin tin ( silicone one
) and put in one tablespoon(ish) of canola oil in each cup, then place in the oven for at least 10 - 15 mins while the meat is cooking, then I take the meat out to rest, and turn the oven up to about 240 degrees.
For the yorkshires I keep it simple. I have a 3/4 ( about 2.7oz) cup measure cup (cheap one from somewhere like Kmart) and use it measure out:
1 level scoop of plain flour
1 measure of milk
3/4 measure of water
3 eggs
pinch salt and pepper
Mix it all together really well and place in the hot fat - I use a ladle or pour it from a jug and get each cup of the tin about 1/3 to 1/2 full of the mixture - no more or they are eggy and no less or they are really tiny.
Cook them until risen and golden brown. Takes about 15 mins.
Try not to open the oven and if you do, then don't do it for too long or they will shrink!
Let me know what you think

Re: Dinner's on me.
Maybe the one on this edition of 'Coppers' I was watching last night who stuck two mobiles & a charger up his Chatham pocket?

4 eggs broken into a measuring jug
Same volume of milk
Same volume of plain flour
Pinch of salt
Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Sieve the flour into it a bit at a time until smooth and then whisk it all some more for good luck (I use a hand whisk, its good for preventing bingo wings
) Leave it somewhere cool for at least a couple of hours and whisk again before putting in the oven.You need a very hot oven, about a teaspoon of oil/fat in each case (I use either my silicon muffin tins or traditional larger shallow tins) and make sure the oil is very hot. You need to work quickly as soon as you take the oiled tins from the oven so that the oil doesn't cool down. No more than half fill the cases (especially if its a muffin tin you're using, as they're very deep)
Our oven is a fan oven but they still rise better if they're on the top - that may vary from oven to oven. Mine get a good 20 minutes, but again, that probably varies from oven to oven.
