Title: my quest Post by cods on Feb 25th, 2021 at 8:41pm
is for the perfect yorkshire puddings..
I have tried most recipes...which are basically the same thing...and they rise to the occasion beautifully....but they are not crispy and by the time they are one the table they have flopped.....trouble is the family all like them.. does anyone have the secret... |

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.

thanks nef will give it a go and let you know I dont trust my oven so maybe just not hot enough |
Title: Re: my quest Post by Neferti on Mar 12th, 2021 at 11:01am
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! |
