Yesterday my wife arrived home with a packet of Yorkshire Puddings to eat with our Easter roast. I protested...why do we spend good money when two eggs, 4oz of flour and a little milk will make a proper Yorkshire 100x better?? So I went to MY recipe books (not actually a hand written one) a 1936 Radiation Gas Oven book, and followed their recipe.....and the massive Yorkshire turned out just like Mum used to make and her mother before that !! It was voted best Yorkshire ever eaten by my family !! I also had to explain that when I was little we always had a large Yorkshire with a roast, and you were given a choice for your portion....eat with the meat and gravy....or keep in the oven and then have it with a spoon of Tate and lyle Golden Syrup for pud!Nigel Aspdin (Derby, UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11287696605570389587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410794479676555766.post-84147057098128279412013-03-31T21:14:22.364+11:002013-03-31T21:14:22.364+11:00Thank you Pauleen.
