I tried and tried and tried and tried to make yorkshir epuds and nothing worked. Even if I do say so myself in everything else I am an excellent cook - so why oh why couldn't I make yorkies?

My mum makes fab yorkies they rise to huge fluffy mounds of yorkiness! She even stood over me one day, made sure I did exactly as she told me too - they turned out flat.

Then recently we were talking about this at work and a colleague reckoned her method was foolproof - Skeptical? well yes as over the past 30 odd years I've tried every infallible method going without sucess.

Well tried her method and amazement!!!!

Yorkies to be proud of - "Who made these mum" was the cry from the teenagers, it can't have been you, followed by "hurrah she's cracked it".

Well thought maybe it's a one off - but they continue to be good - so for all those out there who can't make yorkies - give this one a go, you never know!

Choose a measuring vessel, I use a small coffee mug, but it's not really the size that matters, but that you use the same measure throughout.

For tins use muffin tins.

Heat the fat in the muffin tins till very hot.

Use your measuring vessel to measure I measure plain flour, I measure of eggs (as many eggs as it takes to make the same volume of flour) 1 measure of milk, add seasoning. Whisk well till no lumps, let rest for at least 15 minutes, give a quick whisk again, then pour into hot muffin tins.

Anyone remember watching the episode of 'Ramseys kitchen nightmares' where the pub started the 'real gravy' campaign? I have to say that the yorkshires that went with the roast beef served in that pub looked totally lush mmmm - but keep the owner out of that kitchen lol
