Idiot-Proof Yorkshire Puddings
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 cup beaten egg
- 1 cup milk
- lard or oil
- Mix together the flour, eggs and milk, until well combined. Cover and leave in the fridge for as long as possible-24 hours is good, 60 minutes minimum.
- Melt blobs of lard/dripping or oil in pudding tin holes-enough that when its melted it comes up the side of the hole about 1/2cm.Remember lard has a higher smoke point than oil, and dripping more than lard, and in this case the hotter you can go, the better.
- Heat the pan in a HOT oven, until oil/lard or dripping is smoking hot. If need be, heat the pan over a flame over the stove to get it smoking.
- Remove batter from the fridge and mix quickly, pour into pudding holes. It should sizzle immediately.
- Place tray in hot oven and do not open the door. Four large puddings take about 20-25 minutes.
- NB-you can eat these cold with jam too!
