The Yorkshire Pudding Challenge - You Up For It?

[RCA]

Hi all...​

 ​

time to begin...​

 ​

***The Yorkshire Pudding Challenge***​

 ​

Time to start a journal on your Cooking abilities of a Yorkshire Pudding.​

 ​

 ​

It is like a journal so get

​

 ​

Let the fun begin​

 ​

 ​

 ​

Australia vs USA ​

with ​

TallTree01 vs Eaglesaquarium​

 ​

Do you want to join them?​

 
A bit of background, then onto the challenge... well... we all love food, we are all competitive and we all love derailing other people's threads... need we say more?
 
 

Only thing I've ever heard about Yorkshire is Yorkshire pudding... but I don't even know what that is....

 

You can also get GIANT ones filled with all the lovely meal inside. 
I

them with horseradish sauce.
I believe the original idea was to eat them before the meal in order to use less meat.  Nowadays we Yorkshire Folk like them with the meat

Eagles and TT - I challenge you to make a "Toad in the Hole" and report back on what you thought.

 
 

Eagles and TT - I challenge you to make a "Toad in the Hole" and report back on what you thought.

Great, but how do I make one?
Basically cook a hollow pastry and then chuck some meat and gravy in there.
PS. The broccoli in that pic really made me

. lol. Do I have to put broccoli in there?

 
 

Brocolli is optional! lol
Making Yorkshire puds is both an art and a science. I was 40 before I could make a decent one! lol
You could always cheat and buy the frozen ones that only take 4 mins to reheat and they are quite good.

 
My wife has started making her own pizza crust and dinner rolls from scratch... we want AUTHENTIC food.

 
I have 4.5 years to try to get my pudding right...  I accept the challenge! 

 
So the challenge is on, so far TT is in the lead although we are unsure precisely what he has made or eaten!
 
 

I made it!!! Well... Sort of
I Chucked some gravy, sausages and potato in a pastry cup.

The verdict:
yum. can't believe you yorkshireers get to eat this all the time. Flavor may have been ruined by my own

 

So let the challenge begin - want to join in?  Feel free...the more Countries/Members the better...​

Proper toad in the hole! Om nomnomnomnom!!
 
Bacon wrapped sausages and some sweetcorn in the batter (means it doesn't dry out quite so much too).

[TallTree01]

RCA really went nuts on the tagging when building this post, chucked the names of all the people she though would post. lol. She's spot on so far.
What would be your favorite yorky pudding combination?
Having only had 1 I don't think I have many options..... yet.

 

[Lunar Jetman]

And proper ones. Not Aunt Bessies....

 

[Mamashack]

The list would be endless TT! You'll have to be creative! lol
Try adding some chopped herbs to the batter or as I do - a little bit of chilli powder to give it a bit of bite! yummy!!


Azziff, Lunar!!! Nobody would cheat!! Would they???

 

[TallTree01]

Who's aunt Bessie and what's she got to do with YP?

Thanks TT, to be honest I was just trying to build a record of the events and the people who led up to it, hope I have not missed anyone - sorry if I did.
 

  Lunar Jetman, "Aunt Bessies" are good for being quick but it is cheating   Not sure TT and EA are able to get Aunt Bessies (a brand of pre-cooked Yorkshire's) anyway!

 

[Mamashack]

Aunt Bessie's is a brand of frozen YPs available in UK - they are good if you can't make YPs but home made tastes better and frozen ones not allowed for this comp, are they, RCA?

 

[Lunar Jetman]

​This will be considered cheating...
 

 

 

[TallTree01]

you can get premade YPs!?!

 

[MBOU]

Sad isn't it *shakes head* almost as bad as horsemeat lasagne gobble pots. Absolutely anyone can cook if they just try

I am the worlds most hopeless accident prone person inclusive of many scars from grabbing hot objects or touching gas rings or brushing against the shelves in the oven... and yet I can still cook! (timing is my biggest issue!).
 
If you can read a book or follow even the most basic written instructions, you can follow a recipe! If you don't understand the terminology, well... that's what google is for!

 
It all takes practise, batter (for example) isn't all that expensive, make a small batch and practise with it first

 
EDIT: RCA, I edited your initial post slightly as I have tidied up the thread we derailed tell me if it doesn't make sense!

 

[Mamashack]

Of course TT!! Not everyone can make an edible YP - my first efforts were like unleavened bread! lol
