Hi, a long time ago, l mentioned in the forum about Yorkshire pudding's, and was met with "What sort of pudding"
Hope you enjoy them, us from over the pond, well they are a traditional part of our diet.
As a cook would love to put recipies on the forum, when l have tried, have to explain so much, lose heart.
Where did you get the recipe from, am interested.

Being an English family we eat Yorkshire Pudding a good bit over here....Soooooooo good--and nice and light and airy! Glad you shared the recipe so others over here can try it!

I remember when I was a little girl we'd eat black pudding......you should see my friends reactions when I tell them what it is.....LOL

I usually pour the Yorkshire pudding in the pan drippings after I've pulled out the roast. Love it that way. The recipe is very similar to the popover recipe that a love having for breakfast. Not that I'm a butter freak or anything lol.

Don't just keep the yorkies for beef dinners guys- it's gorgeous with roast chicken as well - or lamb come to thin of it (LOL). Every so often I make great big ones in sponge tins and fill them with sausages and onion gravy. Oh bliss - it's no wonder I'm as big as a house!!

Okay Skywise.........what's are
???
I am dyin' to know!!!!

Sorry weezie

I should have said cake tin. I only ever cook Victoria sponges in mine - hence "sponge tin". Mine are about 9" with removable bottoms which means the yorkies are easy to get out without breaking them. Yummy yummy!

I'm not a huge baker,
*actually I am so lacking talent when
it comes to dough products..* :rolleyes:

but would one of those be
considered a "cheese cake pan" like....
where you have to clip on the sides
of the pan to the bottom..
then when the cheese cake is done,
you un~clip it?????

If it is, then I know exactly what you mean....

but you've got me curious again...
What are those???????

Yes, sounds like a cheescake pan is the right thing.

Victoria sponges - um.... Ordinary sponge cakes:

6oz sugar
6 oz hard margarine
8 oz self raising flour
2 eggs
milk

Beat the sugar and marge together until they're creamy. Add the eggs and a drop of milk and beat. Add the flour a little at a time and beat it into the mixture, adding milk to get a nice consistency (when the mixture just drops off a spoon). Spread the mixture equally into two buttered 9" cake tins and bake for approx 20 minutes at Gas Mk 4 (160c). Et voila - victoria sponges!!

Spread some jam or buttercream on one sponge and sandwich it between the two sponges.

Right, I've made myself hungry now so I'm off to do some baking . . . . . . (exits stage left licking lips and drooling)
