What is the best yorkshire pudding recipe for gas oven?

[kittycat0224]

I'm in searching for the best yorkshire pudding recipe for GAS oven!!!
I recently bought a gas oven to replace the electric one I had. It is fine in everything apart from doing yorkshire puddings. I used exactly same recipe I used before, but the result comes out completely different! I use 2oz flour,1 egg, 1/4 pint milk and salt&pepper, to make 4 puds. They used to rise beautifully in my electric oven, but now only half the height they used to be, and expend sideways like hug fat tomatoes. My husband is happy with how they look cos they taste the same, but I'm not! Wonder if anybody has encounted this kind of problem before? Please help me...

Try Gordon Ramsey's Sunday Lunch Roast Beef and Yorkshire pud recipe...I've used it at work and the puds are brilliant!!

I've always cooked using gas, so I don't know what yorkies in an electric oven are like but this is how I do them using the exact ingredients as yourself.
heat the muffin tin (holds 12 puds) in the oven with a little amount of fat in them until smoking hot, pour the batter in and cook towards the top shelf on gas mark 7, they rise well & upright.

you can use lard or cooking oil - I use the latter.
I let the batter stand for 20mins before using it.
Got to pour batter into smoking hot pan quickly so the oil sizzles & then straight into the oven.

Thanks to you all, my yorkshire puddings are perfect now. Had my parents in laws around dinner, they were very impressed!
(Haven't had internet for a loooong time, so glad to get it back!)

To Jack:
Fat is really good, now everytime I cook duck I save all the fat!
