Yorkshire Pudding and Pancake Recipes

Iced_Bun

Hello everyone. Looking for a little bit of creative advice

I fancy some pancakes after my dinner tonight and I am also planning a roast beef dinner for tomorrow with of course the obligatory yorkshire puddings.

Now I live on my own so I dont want huge quantities of either and it struck me that as the ingredients are the same then maybe they are interchangable.

So I have 4 eggs, milk, flour etc and wondered if anyone has any ideas on how I could make my pancakes tonight then use the same mix tomorrow with additions if needed for the yorkshires? I think the yorkshire mix should be thicker so not sure how I will do this.

Has anyone done this?

Thank you

Rikki

Make up the amount you need. Divide into two and make the pancake mixture thinner. Or make a thin mixture and add a little more flour for tomorrows yorkshires mixture.

Personally I'd make pancake mix for tonight and then make the yorkshire mix fresh tomorrow.

Salt and pepper are all I add to the yorkshire mix. Not in pancake mix.

Thanks Rikki. I was going to do that but I only have 4 eggs so need them to stretch to both

Good idea to divide and make thinner I think I may try that

I only use two eggs for one dozen yorkshires so it will depend on how many people you are making pancakes and yorkshires for.

I always leave my yorkshire mix in the fridge till I need it and some do like to make their batter the day before so I don't see why not. Just don't beat too furiously today, mix, divide and then beat the separate pancake mix to suit.

hi Rikki :wave:

Iced bun I agree with Rikki but if I want really scrummy
Yorkeys I may use 3 eggs .....its mothers recipe so no arguing :rotfl:

found this if its any use - you could make them separately then

One egg, one cup of plain flour, one cup of milk (add a pinch of salt if making Yorkshires) makes 12 Yorkshires or a combo of pancakes/Yorkshires. If its good enough for Jamie it's good enough for me x
