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.
I find that sieving the flour first & putting the whole batter mix in the fridge until the Beef is nearly cooked works for me. We don't have Yorkshire pudding with anything other than roast Beef your all bloody chavs if you eat them with any meat It's just wrong, wrong I say WRONG!

)

Re: Dinner's on me.
that yorkshire pud began life as a substitute for meat, or at least to stretch it further. Now its an extra.

Re: Dinner's on me.
When I was growing up only posh people could afford Beef. We had yorkshires with sausages and mash as that was the cheaper alternative to meat and veg....with a yorkshire pud to fill you up.
