After much experimenting, this is the perfect yorkshire pudding mix!

This makes 12 small puddings in muffin tins.

N.B. You can make up the mixture in advance and keep it in the fridge for a few hours. Then give it another whisk before cooking. If you make it just before the meal, remember you need to let the mixture stand for about 15 minutes before you bake it. The oil needs to be nice and hot before you pour the mixture in.

Ingredients

2 oz plain flour

1 egg

1/4 pint of milk and water (half milk, half water)

oil – any sort, dad likes groundnut but sunflower or olive oil are just as good.

How to make them.

Set oven to 210C

Sift the flour into a jug.

Break the egg into the liquid and stir to break up.

Pour the egg/liquid mixture into the flour and beat with a food mixer until well blended – 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Leave the beaten mixture to stand for about 15 minutes.

Pour a little oil into each muffin tin to cover the bottom.

Put the oil filled muffin tin into the oven to get hot.

When the oil is hot, carefully pour in the mixture, dividing it between the 12 tins.

Bake in the oven until well risen, about 15 minutes.
