Yorkshire Puddings

Nova5

Ended up using loads of ingredients and had to send DH out for more supplies, (not good for the grocery challenge!). Had 2 step-daughters over for Father's Day and dinner was a disaster.
Everyone was polite and said it tasted great - even tho it looked terrible! My big Yorkshires were like dinner plates even though I made quite a few attempts. I'm determined to make them again so going to practice during the week. This thread has lots of info but it's all different and I've tried 1 egg, 2 egg, thin, and thick batters. Any tips gratefully received

I haven't got any plain flour, would self raising flour work in a Yorkshire Pudding batter mix??

I think it would end up huge because of the rising agents. My yorkies always end up huge anyway!

Don't think it would work, its needs to be plain flour. If you give it a go let us know the results

might give it a go just for the 'experiment' of it. I also have some chapati flour........wonder if that might work better........just had a look at the bag, just says 'indian wheat chapati flour'........is that the same as plain flour??

Penny-Pincher!!

SR with yorkshires normally turn into hard lumps which you could probably build a house with...lol.

When I was a student someone I know made yorkies out of chapati flour and yes it did work, just got some bits of wheat at the bottom of the yorkshire (if I remember rightly ) but can I say he was very good at making yorkshires so I don't know if that helped.

I think SR flour would just ruin them - but have never tried!
