Poll: Yorkshire Puddings

[sigma]

There is no option for 'Not Bothered'

Or 'all of the above'

I always make fresh because they are so quick to make.

Not heard of pancake batter being used before!?

It's the same recipe. Flour, egg, milk.
Or do you mean the pre bottled stuff specifically.

I make a big batch up then freeze what’s not eaten straight away. Best of both worlds!

I don’t tend to make them with dinner just due to oven space so freezing a batch is simpler for me.

Supermarkets sell batter mix which is good for puddings and pancakes. The only difference is consistency. Yorkie batter should be slightly thicker than pancake batter. Think single v double cream consistency

I voted fresh. Im a bit hit & miss on making these though. They either rise to the point of filling the oven or they turn into mini pancakes.
If from a supermarket, I'm very partial to the large Yorkshire pud with the small roast chicken dinner inside you can buy from Aldi or Lidl.

They are so easy to make decent ones, I feel its an absolute waste of time and money buying frozen.

Same as chips though isn't it. Convenience.

Chips take a lot longer to make and cook than a yorkshire pudding

Really I make it about 15 mins max for both.
Takes 5 mins to get the oil hot and 10 mins to cook both.

Guess it depends how you prep and cook each.

What's different in those.

Home made is the only way

Melted butter, bit of sugar and buttermilk

Aunt Bessies frozen batter ones are decent and better than the ready made frozen ones.

Cant beat home made though, agree the James Martin recipe is a winner although I mix and cook on the same day.

Reading the op again I would say fresh is the best, but for a quick roast, frozen are fine.
How many that state fresh is best, make their own, which is not really the question..

M&S do a decent frozen.

I've usually got the puddings in whilst the meat is resting and the veg is being sorted, potatoes being mashed etc.
