- Sieve the flour into a bowl and add in a pinch of salt. Mix 1 beaten egg, 4 tablespoons each of water & milk into a jug, then add to the flour & salt mixing continually, beat well with a 'wooden' spoon until a smooth runny batter, is obtained. This mix is sufficient for 2 people, if more is required simply multiply the mix.
- This is the important part, leave the mixture to stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Heat the oven to 230C and when hot add 1/2tsp of fat to each tin and place the tin into hot oven, when the fat is smoking hot then add your mixture.
- Tip: Keep fat used from previously cooked pork/beef sausages in your fridge until required, this adds a fantastic flavour.

- Enjoy!!

FOOLPROOF YORKSHIRE PUDDING
Well, this year for our holiday dinner, I finally did it! After a couple of previous experimental attempts at making Yorkshire Pudding (usually on a holiday and always with guests present), I finally got it right! Light and crispy and poofy huge. The biggest contribution to my success this year seems to be the Wondra flour, but using pan drippings and not taking shortcuts by using crisco and beef broth also yielded good results for me. I think cast iron muffin pans would work fabulous, but I'll have to wait to try that experiment until I add to my cast iron assortment.

IDIOT-PROOF YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS
This is more of a formula than a recipe. You can use any measure you like, as long as they are all the same. I just used a cup for ease of demonstration. Once you know how to do it there is no excuse for buying those horrible frozen jobs ever again (as my husband says-they are for people who are too stupid to mix together flour, eggs and milk!) You can also freeze these, then just pop them from the freezer into a hot oven for a few minutes to heat through and crisp up. I make little mini ones for the children and freeze them-a great standby for a quick dinner or a cheats 'Toad in the Hole'. Try it--you'll be wanting to eat roasts more often!

Steps:
- 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!

Tips:
- Use the right ingredients: Make sure you have all the right ingredients and that they are fresh. Use plain flour, not self-raising flour, and make sure your eggs are at room temperature.
- Get the batter right: The batter should be smooth and lump-free. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add a little more flour.
- Heat the oil properly: The oil should be very hot before you add the batter. This will help the Yorkshire puddings to rise quickly and evenly.
- Don't open the oven door: Once the Yorkshire puddings are in the oven, don't open the door until they are cooked. This will help them to rise properly.
- Serve immediately: Yorkshire puddings are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with gravy, roast beef, or any other desired accompaniment.
Conclusion:
Yorkshire puddings are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. By following these tips, you can make perfect Yorkshire puddings every time.
