OT- Re: Yorkshire puddings...:-(
 
Slightly OT but I've switched flours for baking recently and would heartily recommend King Arthur brand all purpose (plain) flour for baking. Much better than the Gold Label brand I was previously using.

Haven't tried Yorkshire puds with KA flour yet but when I do, I'll photograph the results.

That's for the gluten in the flour to start reacting with the liquid. :)

Well, I have lots to play about with now! Won't be making them next Sunday as I have a girlie afternoon watching the Oscars...red carpet onwards...but the Sunday after...plan is:

i) Heat the oven to absolute max
ii) Use vegetable oil instead of olive oil
iii) Cover up the vent
iv) Put the batter in the fridge
v) Find a store that does sell Aunt Bessie's! LOL

I'll let you know if they rise or flop :D .
