Yorkshire puddings
There are probably many that disagree with my recipe but I feel my pictures say it all, it works.
For my 6 fairly large puddings I used, almost as soon as I have had breakfast.
2 large eggs right from the fridge
1/3 cup flour, yesterday I used the same flour as I use for my bread
and about 1/4 to 1/3 cup cold water right from the cold tap.
Mixed all in a large bowl with balloon whisk, it's a job to get it to blend well. so I let it be a bit lumpy looking, mixture looks like heavy cream, sorta slow to pour.
this mix is then poured into a small jug, and the jug placed in the fridge, till I want to cook the pudding about 8 hours later.
I then heat my oven to 400f, spray my pans with a quick spray of Pam, place empty pans in oven to heat about 3/4 mins, remove pans from oven, divide the pudding mix into the hot pudding pans, place in oven and bake about 40 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
I do have a little story that goes along with Yorkshire puddings, I am a Londoner and these puddings are/were very popular when i was younger, My mum often made them
and it never failed when they were in the oven and you could see them rising, my mum would always say, "oh, I don't know whats happened to those Yorkshires," hence every one would look through the oven window and see all these gorgeous pudding
puffing up like clouds. And strangely enough I seem to do the same as my mum always did........ :-)))) qahtan.
What makes them rise? They are beautiful. I've been meaning to try Yorkshire pudding. No rising agent, though? I'm baffled.

As you can see by the recipe there is no raising agent in them,, like many recipes that do not require any raising agent to make them rise, ie- Genoise sponge as well souffle etc, it's in the eggs. try it... qahtan
Yeah, I will try them. I'm, obviously, kind of new to cooking beyond making things like baking powder cakes, yeasted breads, etc. This is all quite interesting. Baking is a BIG world!

Pfitzauf is what they're called in Germany, and Popovers here in Maine.
Tea and freshly baked Popovers with butter and strawberry jam, in a garden overlooking Jordans Pond and the mountains of Acadia National Park - no better way to enjoy them that I can think of...

I love them but never had the courage to actually make them. This convinces me that it would be neat to try.
