Yorkshire Pudding - does it freeze?

Mr_Proctalgia

You can also freeze the batter, I have on occasions frozen it in the Yorkshire tin when I was called away suddenly, let it thaw and cook from cold - No problems.

well i think I might treat the men in my life to toad in the holes for tea, I tries making a big yorkie yesterday in a pyrex dish lid and i think I let it get too hot, I ended up with a soggy pancake, my small ones turned out fantastic

I like to do mine in a non stick sandwich tin - there is only two of us. I prefer to cook it for longer but on a lower heat, say maybe 40 minutes - comes out a treat and it does all get eaten - would never make it to the freezer.

Hi everyone - I'm quite new to all this, so please bear with me...

I live on my own, so I'm mostly catering for one. I love home made Yorkshire puddings, but it's not really practical or ecconomical to make them in smaller quantities.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if you can freeze them yourself? If so, does anyone have any tips for doing this successully? I'm not so keen on the bought-frozen kind, so am wondering if there's something they do in the processing to make them freezable?

I suppose I could just eat the lot in one go... but I'm supposed to be losing weight as well...

Open freeze them on a tray, then either bag or box up.

Also, not tried this myself, but my (nearly 80 y old) aunty puts veg oil in foil tins, adds pudding mixture and then open freezes before bagging. They come up beautifully, honest!! She saw the shop ones and decided she could go one better and cheaper!! And I think she has!!!!!

I have never had any problem with freezing medium and small yorkshires. The biggest problem I have is geting them into the freezer before they are eaten

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you freeze them as individual batters? Like the frozen batters you can buy? You might be able to get some of the tin foil moulds, or freeze them in a greased yorkie tray and when they're hard transfer them to a freezer bag?

Yes, you can freeze them both ways!!!

Thanks for the great tips - I'd never thought of freezing them "raw".

Will have to experiment this weekend... I can see things going badly wrong for my diet!
