What To Cook Invidual Yorkshire Puddings In

[bednobs]

i made such a mess of it at xmas - anyone have advice about what to cook them in?

[TheWinner]

we made individual ones in the air fryer and they were brilliant. we use this recipe and double up.

I used a Yorkshire pudding to make individual puddings or any small roasting tin to make a big one.

I've even made them in those individual foil cases that pies come in

Stick a tin in the oven with oil (or fat) and get it really hot before you pour in the batter. I use a big wide tin. What went wrong with yours?

do you have an air fryer bednobs?

[maggiebee]

Buy a pack of Aunt Bessie's - can't go wrong with them and they taste great.  £1.75 for ten in Asda.

i do have an airfryer, but id like to make more than 2

Sorry, bednobs. If you want individual yorkshires, then use a tin with little hollows like you would use for baking fairy cakes. Fat in each dish, hot oven so that the batter sizzles when it drops in.

But you haven't said what happens when you try this.

we've used this recipe many times,and they always turn out perfect. (otherwise I wouldn't share).

Any shallow tin, very hot oven, lard/dripping smoking before you put the batter in.

Yum

do what we do, double up the recipe. Sometimes, we make a batch of 6 and put them in the freezer.

I'm finding it harder since we got an induction hob and I can't get the fat smoking hot easily.  I'm beginning to think of heating it in a pan and then doing a swift job of pouring it into bun trays already v. hot from the oven and adding the batter.

For toad-in-the-hole and large puds I just manage with pie dishes full of smoking fat from the oven and it works v. well.  Individual ones allow too much cooling time.  Couldn't you just cook one large one and cut it up appropriately?

I suggest you make 2 using my link, and when you see how good they turn out, you'll want to make more.

the only thing I would add, is that when the time is up, we turn them upside down and cook the bottom of them for a minute or two to finish them off. Every air fryer, like an oven, is a bit different.

I get my fat smoking hot in the oven

when you've tried it, please come back and let us know how you got on. I wouldn't put my name forward with a recommendation, unless I was sure you would get a good result.

Use a muffin tin with 12 holes.  I always use James Martin's recipe - 8 eggs, 8oz plain flour, pinch of salt, pint of milk and then just cut it down if necessary (I often do 2 eggs, 2oz flour etc).  This recipe has never failed me - as long as the fat in the tins is smoking hot and do not open the door until they are puffed up and then just open and close quickly to let steam out.

[jourdain2]

I use James Martin's Grandma's recipe too, Barmaid.  It always works, I just find with muffin tins  that some of them cool off a bit by the time you reach them with the pourer, so I used to pop the tin on the hotplate - now that doesn't work.

For the mix I always use 1/3 cold water to 2/3 milk and put mix in fridge for an hour before using. I use pie cases for small ones

[Prudie]

Yes like the last few who've read the question :-) for individual ones use a metal muffin tin, getting the fat superhot before putting the batter in plus having a hot oven is the key.
