Best tip I can add to this - half a teaspoon of mustard powder in with the flour. Gives nice colour and an extra savoury flavour to the finished product.

Although they look great it would be informative if you were to state quantities of ingredients and oven temperature etc in your video clip.

Can't have a roast dinner without some yorksire puddings ;)

I always thought the best oil to use was the rendered fat from the roast beef.

I make mine using equal quantities of everything. so I get a mug fill it with flour, then milk, then eggs. Mix it all together with baking powder and bosh. Perfect every single time, with no measuring ☺

I just love that old chestnut about the well in the middle of the flour. Its in a bowl - you don't need the well!!!!

And for the "best" Yorkies, you should be using beef dripping.

And you didn't use the trick with the spoon to prevent spills, which prevents uneven rising.

And you didn't season the batter.

Otherwise, not too bad, but hardly "the best".

Beef dripping in tins for yorkshires. Best ever.

as a Yorkshire man you most definitely should use beef dripping, and yes oil is not good for you either.

These have inspired me to make some again as my last lot (without using this recipe) were diabolical so thanks 😊

Hello Good Day, Can I use low fat milk than whole milk?😊

Hi, I've been wanting to make these for a while now. What do you usually eat these with. I've seen a meat dish, and Nigella had it with cream and golden syrup. Any other suggestions?

210 and 200 degrees celsius are contovertial because of the time of cooking and how it affects the final result. not to mention longer cooking times when using a lower temperature.however, using 20 minutes as a benchmark for a comparison, and in a fan oven btw, ive had better results for raising the pudding at 200 celsius and cooking for another 5 minutes.(no peeking)
Both temps still give good results depending on preference. leaving them to stand(outside of the tin) for a time will allow the batter to expand internally, making the texture more like a bread loaf, rather that greasy and

Can I ask you something? I tried to do mine last month but the oil splashed in the oven and the smell was too unbearable. It did taste really good but as I said had this issue. Is it normal to happen this, or maybe it was too much oil? I remember that I filled to the top

The BBC website recipe asks for 2 trays of 12 hole tin. Are we making this with just 1 tin?

If I had a kitchen that white I could keep it clean easier.

Semi Skimmed ..Skimmed or Whole milk ?

Are we meant to guess the measurements?
