Flour ?
Recommendations for using with baking - muffins, Yorkshire Puds etc to get them to rise properly.

Re: Flour ?

Re: Flour ?
Right when I'm wrong I'll say I'm wrong. 
Just double checked with OH and he tells me that he used the all purpose flour but did throw in a spoon full of the self raising stuff just to see what would happen. So big yorkshires was the result.
The self raising stuff was apparently for the dumplins.
hangs head, take off pinny and lets OH finish cooking dinner

Re: Flour ?
This works beautifully every times for me. If possible make the batter well in advance. I make mine after breakfast for cook at 5-6pm - you could make it that day before and keep it in the fridge, but allow it time out of the fridge before using.
vegetable oil
290ml/½ pint milk
4 eggs
255g/9oz plain flour
salt and black pepper
Put a little vegetable oil in the yorkshire pudding tins and put in the oven to preheat.
Mix milk, beaten eggs and seasoning
Whisk in flour
Pour batter into hot tins
Bake at 220C.425F or gas mark 7 for 10 minutes, or until puffy and raised.

Re: Flour ?
This does seem to be a problem in North America. My sister-in-law says no matter what she does they just don't rise for her in the US, but when she makes them back in the UK they rise just fine. Reckons it's something to do with the flour...

Re: Flour ?
I know that when you are at a high altitude there is a problem with rising of cakes etc, but I don't make my YPuds standing on a ladder so I don't understand.
