    Cupcake cases did occur to me but I wondered how they would react to having hot oil in them?

    I'll try leaving the batter out of the fridge next time too :D

    Icey I still found it stuck if I used "virgin" sunflower oil; now when Mr LW changes the oil in the deep fat fryer, I retain a quantity of the oil he takes out, for the sole purpose of doing Yorkshire pudding, and it now never sticks. I can only assume that being heated for chips a few times changes the oil somehow - *shrugs* anyways, it seems to work.:o

    Justamum I've never tried Trex, because I don't have it for anything else - we seem to manage with sunflower oil, olive oil (for pizza) and butter. If I see it in the supermarket and remember to get some, I'll maybe give it a try, just to see.:o

    one of the weekend cookery shows said that you should put your batter in the fridge (think it might have been James Martin?) as the shock of really cold batter into the very hot oven, help it raise by quickly producing steam within mixture.

    I've just looked at a few recipes/tips online & everyone has their own way.

    Personally, I think you've either got the knack or you haven't - I haven't :D

    I've never had a problem with any Yorkshires I'm afraid. Hand-made batter in large or small containers of any size .... or 15p cheapo batter mix from a supermarket in a variety of containers .... they always rise, never stick, taste scrummy.

    I put the batter mix in the fridge, then add a tablespoon of cold water and give it one last beating before I pour it into the hot oil. Oil's always sizzling, but never "smoking" as I'm too scared of anything that smokes to go that far.

    As another Yorkshire lass I agree with the smoking oil. It has to be red hot then they dont stick. You'll see the batter start to almost curl at the edges when it hits the oil when you put it in.
