    Method

    • step 1

      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.
    • step 2

      This is the important part, leave the mixture to stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
    • step 3

      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.
    • step 4

      Tip: Keep fat used from previously cooked pork/beef sausages in your fridge until required, this adds a fantastic flavour.
    • step 5

      Cook in the hot oven for approx 15-20 minutes if using small bun tins and 30-35mins if using large tins.
    • step 6

      Enjoy!!

    This is the best, a good old fashioned recipe for Yorkshire puddings, never fails me. Also used by my Nan & my Mum too. :)

    question

    If I want to use a 12 hole muffin tin how many times should I multiply ingredients?

    NonnaDee

    Yes, it is "A bit of common" but I thought I would ask to see if anyone had actually tried it. Thank you so much for your reply

    I made these for 4 people and doubled it up. I made 4 giant Yorkshires and used all skimmed milk instead of the milk/ water mix. I agree, it’s the best ever exile and the texture is fabulous. I will continue to use this recipe now. Thanks.
