Yes - it's the altitude.

Cake recipes from the UK often don't work as well either.

I've found the flour here much heavier than that back home. You MUST seive it and since doing that my yorkies have been fine. (Where's Auntie Bessie when you need her!). Our branch of Canadian superstore now has frozen ones but they are pretty small.

Also I find that making my own self-raising flour is better than buying the 'Cake flour" they sell here.

1 cup of all puorpse flour (seived)
half teaspoon salt
one and a half teaspoon baking powder.

I often wonder how many are mistaking all-purpose flour for self-rising flour. Using UK recipes that call for self-rising flour but are using all-purpose flour instead and somehow thinking it's because they're in Canada that it's not rising.

Lots of advice - have never tried the frozen ones or the mixes - being a yorkshire lass always made em! Lets hope they are ok otherwise Mikes idea of learning to play hockey could begin sooner than he thinks!

you can buy the ready made ones in some superstores in the frozen section.Five minutes and they're done. Don't taste too bad either.

Yup i always go for these too - much easier for me, and they are small enough you can justify eating 5 or 6 with dinner

Try the packet mix, leave a little longer for the oil to warm than normal, add the mix and they are brilliant.
I used the packet mix at the weekend, actually did two packet mixes as we havent had a roast for a few weeks and they was massive
Cheating on the puddings here is allowed........good luck

Hey

Does anyone listen to Chris Evens on Radio 2????

I do - through I player, and yesterday they did a live cooking session of Yorkies!!!

Log onto the website, the recipe is there, and the chef they had on said equal measures of eggs / plain flour and milk. They used beef dripping and warmed it in the over first, and then seasoned with S&P....! 20 mins in the oven and Bobs your Uncle.

I'm no chef, but it was amusing radio, and it seemed to work. Funnily enough they had an email from someone in Calgary who for the last 30+ years had made perfect Yorkies in Yorkshire, but since moving to Calgary, his never rose? They didn't have an answer for that though....

Good Luck and check ou the Radio 2 webpage!!!!
