Posts: 43644 Gender:	Re: my quest Reply #13 - Mar 5^th, 2021 at 8:10am 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.

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.

Hope they work better now!
