We love our roast beef dinner with yorkshire pudding but I can`t seem to make these rise. I have bought the packets that you add egg and water or milk but they are small .We like big head puddings ,does anyone have a super recipe for this .I use a convection oven for this.thanks

Makes 12 popovers 3 heaped tablespoons plain flour good pinch of salt 1 egg - mix well - add enough milk to make the batter up to a little over 100 ml, stirring well - preheat oven to 230°C - put a little fat or oil into popover tins and heat until very hot - pour batter in - bake in very hot oven for about 20 minutes, or until well risen and slightly browned * * * * * * * * * * * Audrey, we love Yorkshire Pudding too and I make it a lot, using the recipe that my Auntie gave me. I have tried out these mixes but find them very unsatisfactory. I also only use the regular oven for most recipes, although mine can be switched to fan-assisted. It is probably what you are used to, but I do find that some recipes are better done in a regular oven, example Yorkshire Puddings. Here is a link I found saying you must adjust the temperature on a convection oven. I'll let you work that out! www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-convection-oven.htmOne last tip and it is very important - make sure you have no draughts n the kitchen when you open the oven door, or the Yorkshires (or cakes, etc) will flop. This also applies to cakes when you take them out of the oven and cool them on a wire rack. Enjoy your Yorkies, Audrey! |

I use two heaped tablespoons of flour to an egg with enough milk to make the batter, no salt and place in a pre-heated oven at 220oC. Makes them rise like mad  MONSTER PUDS!  |

When I was last wed, we had a Tupperware container that I would place a Mug-full of an average 2 large eggs and milk to 3 Tablespoons of plain flour. I would then put the lid on and give the mixture a GOOD shake for some 5 minutes. Let the mixture stand for half an hour before pouring into the tray and placing in a pre-heated oven at 220 degrees.
Result? Boulders came out.
These days, I rarely eat them, let alone cook them.
