Idiot-proof Yorkshire Puddings

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 cup beaten egg
• 1 cup milk
• lard or oil

Recipe

• 1 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.
• 2 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.
• 3 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.
• 4 remove batter from the fridge and mix quickly, pour into pudding holes. it should sizzle immediately.
• 5 place tray in hot oven and do not open the door. four large puddings take about 20-25 minutes.
• 6 nb-you can eat these cold with jam too!
