Perfect yorkshire puddings

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas 7. (If you're cooking a roast, cook the Yorkshires while the meat is resting.) Spoon a scant tablespoon of beef dripping, goose fat or oil into each indentation of a 2 x 4 hole Yorkshire pudding tray (there is enough batter for two trays).When the oven is up to temperature, put the trays in and leave for 15 minutes for the fat to get really hot.

2. Meanwhile, crack the whole eggs and the egg white into a large bowl. Beat together with a balloon whisk until well combined. Start to add the flour, a couple of spoonfuls at a time, beating well with the whisk as you go to keep the lumps at bay and the mixture smooth. You will see the mixture start to thicken and it will look like a sloppy paste.

3. When all the flour has been added, measure the milk in a jug and make up to 225ml with water, then begin to gradually pour in the liquid, again a little at a time, whisking as you go, until it is smooth. It should now look just a bit thinner than double cream. Pour the batter back into the jug.

4. Carefully lift the tin of hot fat out of the oven, using oven gloves, and quickly pour a little batter into each tin - in a circular movement so each is three quarters full. The batter should start to sizzle in the hot fat around the edges as it is poured in. Bake for 15- 20 minutes until the Yorkshires are tall, golden, puffed and crisp on the sides. Pour off any excess fat and serve with your favourite roast. Once cooled they can be frozen. Reheat from frozen at 180°C/gas 4 for 4-5 minutes.
