Briggy Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Does any one have a recipie for yorky puds. That will rise:) I have made them the same way for years then when I make them here they go flat. So someone sugested using self raisng flour, so tried that and it came out like a cake. Don't ask how much flour and stuff I put in cos I've always thrown it in, but has always worked till now.

ramot Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I don't have the answer as I have the same problem here. I mentioned this to some Australian friends who said they add iced water?? and never have a problem. Is it the flour here as I have lived in Asia for years and had no problem there. I think Aunt Bessy's frozen ones another solution!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theonetruechris Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Mums always used to have half an inch of batter at the bottom with a bit of crispy on top. Sadly I can never make them like she did I could happily eat a whole plate (12 little ones) of them with homemade gravy and blackberry vinegar nom, nom, nom. Apparently to do them right (my nans way) make the batter nice and early and leave it to sit for an hour or 2 then get the lard in the tins nice and hot, batter in straight into a hot oven & don't open it till they're cooked I think its more method than recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest proud2beaussie Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Secret is to use good quality plain flour (White Wings is good) ,don't overbeat the mixture;let it sit for a good hour before cooking and DON"T mix it again after letting it sit otherwise you will get heavy yorkies.always use smoking hot oil as well,they should come out light and fluffy. I use this recipe: 4 ounces of flour. 300ml milk. Pinch of salt 2 eggs. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl,make a well in the centre,add one egg at a time,then half the milk,mix then add the other egg and rest of the milk,beat well and leave to stand.

Didn't know you were a chef as well as being such a help on all things travel. What a star. Thought it might be the flour, will definitely give yours a try, and also add some cold water next time.
