The Yorkshire Pudding Challenge - You Up For It?

[MBOU]

Sweetcorn stops the batter drying out, keeps it really moist and squishy and yummy
 
And, WIN!! I dont have to do washing up and was given second glass of wine

 

[Mamashack]

Wow MBOU they look lovely!! Can I book a table soon??? lol

Well done you, fancy never having made it before, I hope you all enjoyed it?  I love savoy cabbage, yum.  I love the wine warming on the oven!
One thing though, you need to make it again before the end of the month!  
You forgot to post a validation shot for the competition...I am sure there will be no complainers 

 

[MBOU]

Argh dang nammit!! Didnt see that, could have got photos of leftovers only I just ate that too
 
Its not healthy enough to make it again so soon
 
That said, I think this could be a good oppourtunity to get people cooking, why only Toad in the Hole?! We could think bigger!!

Ok, I've been reminded of this whole thing, and I have to fess up - I haven't made a YP yet.  But, that doesn't mean that I've given up - I've just been... distracted!
 
 
So, I solemnly vow to make a YP and I plan to take a few pics along the way to document my attempt.  I will mention this:  I will make it once or twice before I document all the steps.  I like the idea of experimenting with food, so once I get the basics down, I might try something that is all my own.
 
 
Now, off to research how to actually make yorkshire pudding!

The big trick to YP is to get the fat really, really smoking hot before you add the batter; that's what makes it puff up

 

[Mamashack]

Also you can't have too many eggs in there - my theory is whatever is says on the ingredient list for eggs - double it! You'll not regret it I promise - you might be knee-deep in Yorkshire puds but they'll be good ones! lol

Thanks for the tips... I think I might need to buy a standing rib roast to go with this...

Don't do that or you'll have some unexpected dinner company. 

 

[eaglesaquarium]

You're invited, but the cost of entrance is a dozen RCS.  As a parting gift, I'll give you 6 panda corydoras.

Sorry TOS.  Didn't mean to upset you.  It really is a shame we aren't closer together.  I'd love to swap with you!

 

[This Old Spouse]

Ah, that was just a frustrated scream! I'd love to swap critters with you, and the dinner would just be an awesome treat!
