Fifi's recipes

For my Friend from Japan, here is the most typical food you can eat in England. Yorkshire Pudding/Toad in a hole.

Yorkshire puddings

Pre heat oven quite high 200c

Get large mixing bowl and whisk

In bowl, put four eggs and whisk them

Add salt and milk

Whisk again

Then add four large table spoons of plain flour

And add more milk. The mixture should be slightly thicker than pancake mix.

Whisk again

There should be lots of air bubbles. Fifi’s secret to a successful pudding mix, don’t tell anyone, this will only be handed down the Blogget family, put the bowl for one second under cold water tap. Adding a tiny drop of water, then leave to stand, just enough time to take the Yorkshire pudding trays, or deep bun trays, put in what we call lard. So some fat, as I don’t believe oil makes them good. They go very crispy if you use oil.

Just enough lard to grease the tin as you put it in your hot oven be careful as only put in for five minutes, as the  lard should be bubbling as it is to be red hot, when you then add mixture, as quickly as you can, as to keep the lard hot.

You can put a dusting of flour in the trays too, so the mixture won’t stick.

Leave to cook, for about 25 minutes, not opening the oven door, as then they won’t rise.

 They are delicious. You can part cook sausages and after they are half cooked, cut in half and place in oven tray before the mixture, then pour mixture on top of the sausages and we call that toad in a hole.
