Chippers foolproof Yorkshire Pudding recipe

[Jimbeam3678]

I've used this recipe for years , the key is the heat , the oil should literally be smoking and pour the mixture quick as possible and then put back in the oven.

I'm told the brand of flour makes a big difference to how much they rise, certainly my mum experiment a lot and found certain flour brands were useless and some really good.

Maybe chipperhead cans ay what flour he used.

Just Morrisons plain flour.

Yeah definitely.

Trying a batch of four now. Just one egg as there is only two of us. No normal vinegar and white wine vinegar looks off, so slapped in some rice vinegar for the hell of it.

Will take a picture when they are out.

 

[Freefaller]

Yeah that volume technique's a good one, easiest way of doing it.

 

[PapaLazaru]

Failed, though they did taste nice. Not what the rice vinegar added to them though!



My current oven, as you can see, is not one for even cooking.

^^^ That is what mine always come out like. It's not the brand of flour in my case, I've used Sainsburys flour since I've lived here and they used to rise no problem in the old oven

 

[Freefaller]

I agree Johnny - it's going to be oven related. Especially a man of your cooking skill.

How long do you let the oven heat up for Jonny?

 

[Jonny69]

It was on for ages the other night, because I was doing a roast as well.

 

[f00b4r]

New oven it is then!

Expensive yorkshires...

Does it cook the frozen batter ones OK?

Is ok, hopefully be moving to my own place pretty soon so I'll be able to buy my own oven

Dunno, not tried them.

I'm going to try this tonight for toad in the hole. Let's see what you've got on Delia

How do you make them sink in the middle like proper ones?

Like if you wanted an oversized one filled with roast beef and gravy...

I know what you mean, maybe if you made them bigger it would work?

 

[monkeyspank]

Yeah, that should work. I use cake tins

I take it your not opening the door while there cooking are you? I haven't seen anyone mention it.

It was on full power @ 250c for 20 minutes without the door being opened. There were others things in cooking in there as well though.

 

[PapaLazaru]

Second time lucky. I have no idea why these ones rose and my previous did not.

The best Yorkshire pudding is always the ugliest one.
