The Recipe for the BEST Yorkshire Pud!

Recently we've been discussing how to make the BEST Yorkshire Pudding on our 'UK'S BEST CHEF' Group on facebook, exchanging on our notes and tips. Here's what we've come up with!

Traditional way:
Ingredients

290ml/½ pint milk
4 eggs, beaten
255g/9oz plain flour, sifted
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
2. Grease a Yorkshire pudding tin with a little vegetable oil. Place the tin in the oven to preheat.
3. Place the milk, eggs and seasoning in a bowl. Stir well to combine.
4. Whisk in the flour.
5. Remove the tin from the oven. Pour in the batter, filling each case only three quarters full.
6. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until puffy and raised.
7. Remove the puddings from the oven and serve.

I do 3 Cups Plain flour, 3 Cups Milk, 3 Cups Eggs and a good pinch of salt. How to make the mixs then well put flour in bowl with a good pinch of salt then beat eggs then gradually add it to it to make it smooth next step add milk 2 flour egg mixs to make it like a batter mixs then let it rest for half a hour. Put trays in over with a little oil for 10 mins on 190 til the trays ar RED HOT then add mixs to the trays then bake for 20 mins till GOLDEN BROWN AND THEY ROSE TO. Take out yorkpuddings to cool down or sever on roast beef dinner. THIS MAKES 40 YORKPUDDINGS AND U CAN FREEZES THEM DOWN TO. It goes well with Sausages, roast Beef. You can use chopped Herbs in the mixs or horseraish SAUCE to what i love use in it.
