Did you have the requisite 15 pints BEFORE the curry?

Or is that kebabs you have the 15 for

Now I come to think, its 10 pints then the curry and 15 for the kebab

I think that's normally about right but this time it was straight to the curry

Why would you buy crap sausages? Go to a butcher where they sell fab ones.

Yeah but Pen, I am delusional. Trying to convince myself I love living here so maybe those sausages I see at the butchers are a figment of my UK loving imagination!!!

Yorkshire Puds...
I use a 1/3 cup measuring spoon which gives you just about the right amount of quantities


1 level scoop (1/3 cup) of plain flour
2 (large) egss
1/3 cup of milk
about half of the 1/3 cup water

Mix together.

Put your tin in the oven, with a bit of oil in the bottom of each cup (I use a muffin tin) for about 15 - 20 mins. When smoking hot pour in the mixture then put back in oven - at this stage I turn mine up full blast (230 ish) and take out when done - about 15 mins

Perfect puds

If you use 3 eggs, they rise a bit more. But I think they taste too eggy

I'm a 3 egg gal I also tend to use more ater than milk as the milk can make them a bit heavy - about 2 parts milk 1 part water is usual for me, oh and a touch of freshly ground salt and pepper

If you leave the mix to stand for a while as well then give it another final whisk before pouring it in, that's good

milk/water mix is usually different every time I do them I just fill the 1/3 cup one and half times with whatever is nearest ( I do use skim milk though)

Salt & Pepper! - knew there was something else

It's definitely trial and error, see what works
