Hi,
I have been trying to find the perfect recipe for Yorkshire Pudding since moving here, I do occasionally get success and they rise..... but recently not!
Would any of you share your recipe using all purpose flour, I am sure it is down to the flour (thats my excuse!)

Thankyou very much.

you can buy self-raising flour here too............. I cheat and buy mine frozen!

Use more eggs.

You don't want to use self-raising flour for yorkshire puds!

I find that I get better results using white bread flour actually, but all purpose works as well.

My recipe involves equal volumes of flour and eggs and double the volume of milk/water.

so if you used 1 cup of flour you would use enough eggs to make 1 cup and then I would use 2 cups of a milk/water mix.

You do need to get the fat really, really hot - it should be smoking, before you put the batter in.

And I find I have more success if I use a muffin tin to make them in because it is deeper.

Great, thanks very much. I will try it Sunday! My kids have them with any roast, whatever the meat.
Last week they said they were nice cakes!!

aw that's sweet.............mine love them too...they are yummy

This sounds just right to me. What we always do is to mix the eggs and milk together first, then add the flour. Definitely not selfraising otherwise you get hockey pucks. Beat the living daylights out of the mix and add to the smoking hot fat. I think adding animal fat, such as beef fat or lard makes a better yorkshire. Goose fat is best.

I like to make one big pan of the stuff and then rip it into pieces

as I said, I buy frozen...............don't know the ingredients.

This is the recipe i use too, although just lately they have been of the hockey puck variety. Must be the air pressure

probably.

More eggs work.

[QUOTE=Lorna at Vicenza;8124327] I find my mother's method of having a few sherries while cooking helps. Then imagine the batter is someone you dislike and batter the batter.
