Yorkshire puddings

[sherrardk]

How much salt should I be putting in Yorkshire pudding batter? I nevrer seem to put enough in (I am making enough batter for about twelve individual puddings). Thanks.

I don't use any salt and they taste just fine

[giveup]

just a good pinch.

Salt? In Yorkshire pud? I think not!

This recipe has over 70 rave reviews, with no salt used:

That recipe tells you to salt and pepper to taste under the 'Method' bit Chris.

[Graham-W]

Chris. The recipe you link to says, "Season with salt and pepper."

[Maydup]

No salt used in mine either.

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Ladybirder.

I must learn to read through links before I post them!
(However I'd still be happy to have my Yorkies without salt, and then add it at the table if needed).

[sherrardk]

All of the recipes I just looked at (well, the first four on Google) said to u salt and pepper.

[ladybirder]

You could leave it out sher and let your guests decide whether they want S&P or not when they come to eat it.

I can't help, I buy Aunt Bessie's.

[maggiebee]

Me too Boxy, but this recipe looks really easy.

[sherrardk]

We don't put s & p on the table (never have done).

Boxtops - I don't make them often but they are really easy and taste so much better than shop bought ones.

As said a good pinch or even two for 12 yorkshires.

[ladybirder]

No S&P on the table? Thud!

I just put a pinch of salt and a shake of pepper .Can't say exactly .I just bung it in .Quite right sherrardk .You can't beat homemade .I've tried to pass off frozen ones at times but my crew won't have it :)

[EDDIE51]

I never actually measure it ,just tip a bit in around 1/2 a teaspoon .
They do need salt other wise they are like bread with out salt 'tasteless'
1/2 a teaspoon full of salt is not going to make a diffrence to your health especially split between 12 yorkshire puds . But it makes a hell of a diffrence to the taste .

[sherrardk]

I don't put s & p on the table as I don't want the children to have too much salt in their diets, nobody seems to mind or even notice.

Good evening from Yorkshire...where we always put a pinch of salt in our YP's

[EDDIE51]

Apart from salt the secret of yorkshire puds is to use plenty of eggs , for 12 individual puds I use 4 eggs, they come up like towers. Never use a recipe either, just bung it in till it 'looks right'.

[sherrardk]

Hi Eddie, I do four eggs and then the same in volume of flour and milk (and an undecided amount of salt).
