I did my first Sunday roast in France (as there are only the two of us it's a bit of a treat) and for the first time ever the Twerp, 7 years old, tried a little bit of everything instead of simply pushing the plate away. He managed one whole Yorkie with an 'Mmm this is nice' so thank you - that recipe succeeded where all others had failed with Mr Fussy.
After having all but given up in the search for the holy grail of great Yorkshires, you come along with this.
They nearly knocked my eye out when I took them out they had risen so much.
I do believe it's using equal quantities, hot fat so that they sizzle when you put the batter in, oven temp not too hot when the puds go in and lastly, I did not let the batter rest at all. Just thrashed it about and whopped it in the oven.
Kids are getting sick of Yorkshires now since Sunday - Not me though.
Me too, never got the hang of them and I was trying to describe them to the kids the other day - poor things have missed out on them all their lives! Definitely going to give this a go, thanks Helen :)
