Mine sink too when removed from the heat of the oven but still taste yummy. Maybe we use the wrong flour? Is there a right flour?

There is a difference in European and Australian wheat, ours is “strong” whatever that means (more gluten?) Why not try 000 flour from Italy?

never thought of that   might give it a try....... I am getting punchy from eating soft yorkies... just kidding..

The scientist running the lab for a flour miller was a friend of the family, she did talk a bit about flour and I am sure I remember her saying our flour was too strong. This was 1960s and I was still in high school so details a bit vague.

But try it, can always make pasta with the flour if it doesn’t work for the yorkies.

You could also try adding either corn flour or rye flour to your plain flour to reduce gluten content

Rye has gluten but a different form than the gluten in wheat.

Gluten free flour!

Woollies has gluten free flour.

If you need 250g plain flour use 150g plain flour and 100g corn flour.

As I said, I do not make yorkshire puddings.

Here is my Scottish friend's recipe.


Quote:
Yorkshire Pudding recipe ( S.W.R.I. recipe)

75g plain flour. pinch of salt. 1 medium size egg.

150mls milk or milk and water mixed.

sift flour and salt into a basin and make a well in centre. Drop in egg and one third of liquid. Beat well together and gradually add rest of liquid. Put aside in cool place for at least 30 minutes

Heat oven to 200c/ 400f / gas mark 6. Heat a little fat until smoking hot in either individual patty tines or small roasting tin. Pour in batter and cook in a hot oven.40 minutes for one pudding. 30 minutes for individual ones.

thanks nef  will give it a go and let you know    I dont trust my oven so maybe just not hot enough

According to my Scottish friend, I think the main thing is to make sure that the dish(es) intended to hold the pudding are heated before hand and have some real fat (lard) in each, heated to what is called "smoking point".

Hope they work better now!
