Love yorkshire puds.

OH said thank you all very much, Alex, your welcome anytime, hope you enjoyed yours Sticki, I certainly did,Homebird I never thought about freezing them down, what a good idea, we always have them 1st with gravy, only way really,I remember my Mum having jam on them, Lulu go get your glasses on please, you'll end up a walking nightmare,Amy here you go, your honoured my husband giving his recipe away,
for 12 puddings.
4oz plain flour
4 eggs
half pint milk,
salt pepper.
WHISK well and leave in the cool for a few hours, oven 220d or 200 fan oven, put the lard in the pudding tins until piping hot, whisk again so there are lots of air bubbles in the mixture, divide to the tins and cook for 20/25 mins, turn down the heat to 200/180fan and cook for a further ten minutes, Enjoy.

Mmmm they do look delicious a few roast potatoes and a thick sliceof roast beef and my tum is rumbling lol thanks to your clever hubby for the recipe;0)

your welcome Pp

yummy yorkshire, i could sit with a plate full and a bowl of gravy just dunking them in,, ummm

They look delicious Val, would you congratulate hubby for me. A Roast Dinner isn't a roast without a good ol' Yorkshire. Do you cook them in the middle of the oven Val or at the top? I am certainly going to have a go at his recipe,and see if mine look anything like his do!!!!! Haha (lol)

Thank's so much for the recipe Yorkshire , and thanks to your hubby , I will be copying it and trying it out , I obviously dont leave them standing long enough , I don't turn the heat down either , wish me luck with my new batch ;o))

Good luck Amy, we hope they turn out great for you, Lin if its a fan oven as we have he cooks them on the 2nd shelf up from the bottom.

owww they do look good : O ))

Lovely yorkshires. Didn't the people in Yorkshire have them first with gravy then eat the rest of their meal on another plate or have I been told a fable.

thats true Lin, we always eat ours as a starter.

They had their Yorkshire puddings as a starter first,because it helped to fill them up,as they couldn't afford to have a bigger portion of meat...and still have Y,pudding with the main meal as well..!My mum used to have a couple with sugar on, as her pudding,but I didn't like it like that..The secret to them rising well,as Val and her Hubby will agree,I'm sure..the fat has to be sizzling hot,before adding the mixture..so be patient,it takes a few minutes....Val,I often make double the quantity,in advance,cook them,and when cold,open freeze them on 2 baking trays,or one at a time ,if space is limited ,to keep them flat.When frozen,just bag them up,I do 6 to a bag. so easy and quick just to reheat when you want some..about 150/160 fan..on a preheated tray...about 5 minutes...I don't let them brown too much when cooking ,as they will brown more on reheating...My first ones I ever made,were flat as pancakes,and Russell asked if we were having cheese with them..Lol.he thought they were crackers...I cried..newly wed..divorce was imminent...but we weathered the storm..:o)))

I think I will start freezing them down, sounds a good idea. everything you say is so right about puddings, my Mum had then cold with jam on, as you say the fat needs to be sizzling, hope you and russel are fine, had to laugh at you and your puddings, cheese!!! lol

They were such a disaster,Val,..and I was a bit over sensitive..not any more! my motto now,is eat it or leave it.Lol..not that he ever does leave anything,so I must have improved over the years..I never did any cooking at home,as my mum didn't work,and there was always a lovely aroma and good food waiting for me and dad..so I was a complete dumbo,when it came to cooking..
I was surprised you used 4 eggs in your recipe,I only use 3 to 6oz flour...I suppose we all have different methods,but if they work for us,that's ok..We are both fine,Val,hope you and Ralph are too...X

Oooooh yummy I'm only just back on line we have been poorly so missed sending in a request...... maybe next time!! Uncle Ralph's better than Aunt Bessie's by far!!

Glad you are back Neellan, and hope you are feeling better, your request will be first next time, and yes you are so right, Uncle Ralph's are so much better than Aunt Bessie's, thanks, he will apprecciate what you said,

Aw good :o)

Lol, was just looking on goypedia to see if I could get away with blogging a recipe and it said 'recipes from the garden'!!!! And there was a yorkshire pudding, didn't realize you could grow them!

Watch out for her tall tales, Lulu!!

Naughty Yorkshire!!

Lulu, you don't listen to Tet, you listen to me, you think I would really tell porkies to you. xx

She said "anything" Lulu..she'll be telling you next they grow money on trees up there!!

Oh Tet but we do, you not heard about our money trees,where have you been all your life, I thought everyone new about it,

I'll back you on that one Yorkshire..our woods are full of them..:o))Fancy them not knowing that?..We have SILVER Birch,COPPER Beech,....:o))

damn disgrace Bloomer, thought everyone new about our money trees.

A travesty even..but then again,we are the fountain of all knowledge,up here..Lol

I do agree with you there Bloomer. lol

We will get some stick before long,I'm sure..:o))

Lol

Ive got an iris called Gold In Autumn but Im da***d if they will take it at the till in the Garden Centre! Con artists thats what you lot are up there...don't you believe ONE word Lulu!!

Hey bloomer. we really got her back up now,

Ulululululuulu...just doin me wardance bit! C'mon Silver, lets got get 'em..Tonto, where's yer tomohawk??

Bloomer just listen to her doing her war dance, she is barmey, I can just imagine her dancing around the kitchen, gosh as if her tomahawk scares us two,

My tomohawk might not..but Tonto here...he sure will!

who on earth is tonto. !!!!

I don't think we want to know Yorkshire..Lol..and as for Silver..it will be some old nag that came last at Aintree..no chance getting up our hills with that!

Now take that back Bloomeer, Ive just been watching Silver on You Tube..he may be 60, but he gallops as fast as he ever did!!

give me strengh, now she's watching you tube, what next,

It was great to see Hi Ho Silver again Yorkie (welcome by the way but still a puffing puter I gather) he is as beautiful as I remember!

I do believe I am cracking up here, I am going to look at you tube to find out what you have been viewing, Hi Ho silver, whatever next. what was it called you were looking at please

hurry up Tet I have youtube waiting on,

sorry Yorkie, been gardening...I googled The Lone Ranger's Horse and chose the video from Utube.

well you certainly took your time Mrs. its to cold to be in the garden,

But the sun was shining (cold wind tho) and things to do cos its gonna rain tomorrow..sorry ole thing I should have heard you from the greenhouse..but getting deaf in me old age!

try taking a fog horn with you next time then, that might help,we had a bit of sun but just far to cold, yer, rained all night here and more forecast for tomorrow,

Praps you can lend me your ear trumpet Yorkie! Pity its not a bigger greenhouse...cant get the mod cons in this one, only 6 x 4...no room for a chair or coffee percolator..thinking of putting down old piece of carpet to stop cold feet tho..
Could to with Bampy, Id love a bank of levers where you could pull one and out comes the compost into the tray, then another for vermiculate, another for grit and a mechanical spoon to mix it for you...
I could just see myself, sat on chair coffee in one hand, fag in the other..pulling levers and watching the plants being potted up lol!
Did you find Silver on the utube?

Thanks for the recipe..yum:-) Tet's turned into Wallace (except for the fag) it won't help with your weight loss regime Tet, you'd be better doing a few laps around the greenhouse;-)

Standing still in one place while I pot on 20 plants doesnt help with my poor ankles either Ba, but 20 laps to and from plants shelves outside do! Then a trip around all the beds to see how everything doing..dont tell anyone, but I bend down to touch each plant and whisper in their ears to grown up nice and strong!

obviously you have better wetaher than us down there if you are outside, very windy here with rain today, enjoy your greenhouse.

Raining all day here, miserable grey day:-(

A large warm cardi and a shawl sized scarf over my head does it..its sort of drizzley with intermittant steadier rain..the cardi keeps the wind out!

Dont ask me what I must look like..neighbours already think Im mad!

whats new, so do we,

LOL! Glad I wasnt drinking when I read that!!!!!

hahahahahahah
