Baked Herb Yorkshire Pudding From English Fields And Hedgerows Food

HERBED YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Put a 12-cup muffin pan (preferably light-colored metal) in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk the milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the melted butter, then whisk in the flour until smooth. Stir in the parsley, chives and rosemary. Let the batter sit at room temperature at least 10 minutes.
• Remove the hot muffin pan from the oven and generously brush each cup with vegetable oil. Divide the batter among the cups, filling each about halfway (about 1/3 cup batter per cup). Bake until the puddings rise and are deep golden brown, about 35 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking.
• Let them cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove with a small offset spatula. Serve warm or at room temperature.

HERBED YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place an 8 by 12-inch enameled cast iron baking dish in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until foamy and light. Whisk in the milk until combined. Add the flour, herbs, a big pinch of salt, and some pepper, beat just until the batter is smooth. Pour the beef drippings into the bottom of the hot pan. Immediately pour in the batter and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes until the pudding is puffy and brown. Serve immediately, it deflates rapidly.

THE BEST YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk the flour, milk, eggs and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl until smooth-be sure not to over mix. Let sit for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spoon 1 teaspoon beef fat into each hole of a 12-cup muffin tin. Place the tin in the oven and cook until the fat melts and the pan is very hot, 5 to 6 minutes. Working quickly, pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins, filling each tin about halfway. Bake until the puddings are golden brown and very puffed, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

MY MUM'S EASY AND TRADITIONAL ENGLISH YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 240C,475F or gas mark 9. (If you are cooking roast beef and/or roast potatoes, make sure the beef has been removed to "rest" before carving and that the potatoes are moved down to the bottom shelf and NEED browning still.).
• Pour a scant amount of oil or dripping into your Yorkshire Pudding tins.(A large roasting tin can be used too. If you do not have a Yorkshire Pudding tin which has 4 wide and shallow cups of about 4" in diameter, then use a large muffin tin.).
• Put the tin into the pre-heated oven about 5 minutes before you want to cook the Yorkshire Puddings.
• Empty the flour, salt & pepper into a large roomy bowl.
• Make a dip in the centre and add the beaten eggs bit by bit, mixing as you go along.
• Add the water/milk mixture gradually and whisk in between each addition.
• Keep whisking until all the liquids have been added. The batter may still be lumpy - this does not matter.
• Cover and leave to rest for up to 1 hour.
• Just before cooking, whisk thoroughly again to break down any lumps & add some more air.
• Carefully take out the tin/s. Pour the batter into the tin/s and QUICKLY return to the oven.
• Cook for about 20 minutes until well risen and golden brown. DO NOT open the oven in the first 10-15 minutes or they will DROP!
• If you have two tins cooking, rotate the tins from top to bottom shelves after the 10-15 minutes so they cook evenly.
• Serve with Roast Beef and lashings of gravy!
• Can also be served with any Roast Dinner - we love them with Roast Chicken - see photos!
