Nanny Muir's Yorkshire Pudding mix
2 large eggs
good pinch salt
1/2 pint milk
3 heaped table spoons PLAIN flour
Break eggs into bowl and add salt beat well. Now add a spoon full of flour and some milk
do this alternately until the mixture is like cream (not too thick). It is best to do this early on
the morning of the day you are making them, cover with a plate and leave to stand.. on passing through the kitchen during the morning beat mixture once or twice. When ready to cook make sure that the oven is at 200C for a fan
oven or Gas mark 8 for a gas oven, although you will have to turn it down to gas mark 7 once the fat is done. Put beef dripping or vegetable oil in baking tin and get tin really hot till the oil is smoking, when hot spoon batter mixture into tins, not too much it depends on your tins and not too much oil, put it in the oven quickly and close the oven door. Cook for 30 mins or 35 if you like them very brown. When cooked
If not cook them for less time.
Have all the other things for diinner already on the plate and add Yorkshire last adding gravy and serve at once.
I am most sorry as I had to put things like fan ovens on there, which were not around in 1911 and gas marks.
But they did have Agar's with a temperature gauge, so that matches the temp.
With a bit of luck, and do let the oil get really heat up they should come out like these.
My wife and I cooked on Sunday for my Parents.
