The Yorkshire Pudding Challenge - You Up For It?

[fluttermoth]

I know; I had to say to one of my boys the other day, "my Latin teacher..." I felt about 900
 
I really didn't go to school in the Middle Ages, lol!

Of course not, back then they didn't educate the populace, only the nobility.  And only the educated were taught Latin.  Unless you are of noble birth, my lady?

A "popover" is an American variation on the classic Yorkshire Pudding - apparently. 

 
 
My source:

 
Interesting, I tended to zoom through it, main points are:

• Skip to 12:10 for the overview of a "popover".  
• Skip to 13:45 for the first mention of "Yorkshire Pudding" and an explanation of how it came about.
• Skip to 14:45 for the YP recipe according to this chef.
• Skip to 17:42 for an interesting fact.
• Continue watching for the "Dutch Baby" version, but has sugar - yuck!

I too like the cut out in the fridge etc, so you can see the chef while he talks to you.  
Thanks for the video Eagles, explains a lot, found it hard to watch the whole thing through though 

 

 
Happy cooking days

Have to admit I haven't watched it so thanks for the edited highlights RCA!
The pictures seem to have slowed down a bit - is there a deadline?

Boring? 

  I normally quite enjoy it. 

 
 
 
 
Ah well.  We each have our different tastes. 

   Hopefully the entries can remain open a bit longer - I'm waiting for a sale on standing rib roast (I can't afford it unless its on sale).   And sugar for the Dutch baby...  Sounds a lot like a waffle recipe, honestly.

There's a Cornish thing called 'thunder and lightning', where you put golden syrup (in the old days it was black treacle) and clotted cream on (or in!) cold YP.
 
Never tried it myself; it sounds a bit odd tbh!

Ooh - actually sounds quite nice, but guess its just like a puffy pancake really?

Some people up here put jam on cold yorkshires however in this house there are never any left over to get cold in the first place! lol

 

[CoryLover95]

Man I am jealous of you all!

 

[Mamashack]

You don't have to be - join in, CL! lol

 

[CoryLover95]

Well...erm...why didn't I think of that (lol)
No seriously I have no idea how to make one but I could look up a recipe!

 

[fluttermoth]

Loads of tips on this thread
 
But it's basically a batter made from eggs, plain flour, milk and a pinch of salt, baked in a really, really hot oven

 

[CoryLover95]

I will check it all out...but I am terrible at baking so I'll probably end up posting a picture of a flat, burned, failure LOL...
