James Beards Yorkshire Pudding Food

HUGE YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix the batter ingredients together. Let rest for 10 minutes
• Preheat a Yorkshire pudding tray or muffin tin with 1/2-inch (1 centimeter) of oil in each section. After the 10 minutes divide the batter into the tray. Cook for around 15 to 20 minutes until crisp and puffy, don't open the oven door before then or they won't rise.

JAMES MARTIN'S YORKSHIRE PUDS

Steps:

• Put 200g plain flour and some seasoning into a large bowl, stir in 3 eggs, one at a time, then slowly whisk in 300ml milk until you have a smooth batter.
• Chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins or up to a day.
• Heat oven to 220C/180C fan/gas 7. Pour 4 tbsp vegetable oil into the holes of a 12-hole muffin tin, then heat the tin in the oven for 5 mins.
• Carefully ladle the batter mix into the tin, then bake for 30 mins until well browned and risen.

JAMES BEARD'S YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer (or a LOT of elbow grease) until they are light and fluffy.
• Gradually beat in the scant cup of flour and the milk.
• Add salt and about 2 tablespoons of beef drippings from the roast it is assumed you are also making.
• Heat a baking pan (like a cake pan) in the oven (set at 450F) until it is hot, then pour 1/4 cup of beef drippings into the bottom of the pan.
• Immediately pour in batter and bake for 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 350F and cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer, until Yorkshire is puffy and well browned.
• Cut into squares to serve.
• James Beard suggests making this after the roast comes out of the oven:"This can be done after the roast is removed from the oven and while it is standing to let the juices settle".

YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375.
• Heat a clean, ungreased, empty muffin-pan in the oven while you mix together the milk, melted butter, eggs, flour, and salt.
• This dough should be thin/runny.
• When ingredients are mixed together, remove your muffin-pan from the oven, and spray each cup with Pam cooking spray (This step removes the messy'beef-fat method' used in traditional Yorkshire Puddings, and your Yorkshire Puddings will not spill the beef fat over into your oven as they puff up).
• Once the pan is sprayed, fill each muffin-cup only 2/3 full of the Yorkshire pudding mixture, (they REALLY puff up).
• Bake in your pre-heated oven for 40 minutes or until golden in colour and puffed up. (avoid peeking before the time is up).
• Serve while still warm, best served with beef gravy.
• These form a hollow centre as they bake.
• These shrink as they cool, so enjoy them while still warm.
