Yorkshire Pudding Recipe capt caveman
- 3 oz (75 g) plain (all purpose) flour
- 1 egg
- 3 fl oz (75 ml) milk
- 2 fl oz (55 ml) water
- 2 tablespoons beef dripping
- salt and freshly milled black pepper
- A classic Yorkshire pudding is not difficult to make provided you have the right recipe, the right size tin and the right oven temperature.
- I find a good solid roasting tin 11x7 inches (28x18 cm) makes a perfect pud for four people.
- So, for eight, I double the ingredients and use two tins.
- Make up the batter by sifting the flour into a bowl and making a well in the centre.
- Break the egg into it and beat, gradually incorporating the flour,
- Then beat in the milk, 2 fl oz (50 ml) water and seasoning (an electric hand whisk will do this in seconds).
- There is no need to leave the batter to stand, so make it when youre ready to cook the pudding.
- About 15 minutes before the beef is due to come out of the oven, increase the heat to gas mark 7, 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), add the dripping to the roasting tin and place that on a baking sheet on a free shelf.
- After 15 minutes remove the meat, then place the tin over direct heat while you pour the batter into the sizzling hot fat.
- Return the tin to the baking sheet on the highest shelf (or, if you have roast potatoes on that one, the second highest).
- The pudding will take 25-30 minutes to rise and become crisp and golden.
- Serve as soon as possible: if it has to wait around too long it loses its crunchiness.
- A Variation of the above is....
- Toad in the Hole
- Prepare a Yorkshire Pudding batter:
- Fry sausages and lay them in the batter.
- Bake as for Yorkshire pudding
