do you have a small-ish oven proof dish that you could use and just make large yorkie puds?

katie_jane_2

do you mean like a pudding bowl? or ive got a metal casserole dish?do y recon that would work?

I sometimes do big ones in a non-stick cake tin. still put lard in though, get it smokey hot then add mixture. Cook in hot oven until crisp and golden.

katie_jane_2

got cake tins but only ones with push out bottoms is that the kind you mean?

Katgoddess

You could use a patty cake tin to make small ones. (The sort you use for fairy cakes or muffins)

Or a roasting tin to make 1 large one which you can slice up. (The sort you cook the turkey in)

Just adding a picture of the first yorkies I made cos I think they are fab.

Did you use plain flour? Oil hot enough?
