can you use plain flour to make yorkshire puddings?

Answer 1

Yes of course. What else would you use.

Answer 2

Yes, don't use self raising flour or any other raising agents. The oven temp for Yorkshire puddings is so high they don't get time to work and prevent the edges from going as crisp as they should.
I find the best results from using equal quantities by volume of Flour, water and egg. I also add a pinch of Coleman's English mustard powder to the flour, salt and pepper.
Make sure the oven is really hot. Put some oil (sunflower or vegetable) in the Yorkshire pudding tins and place them in the oven to get really hot (oil smoking). Remove the tins form the oven and immediately pour the mixed batter into the tins and return to the oven until cooked. To keep the pans hot while pouring the batter I tend to sit the pans on top of a hot stove.

Answer 3

when making a yorkshire pudding, allways use plain flour. after you have made your mixture up, cover it and put into the fridge for at least an hour. when you want to cook it make sure you add an extra egg before putting the mixture in a yorkshire pudding tin, that has been in the oven with a little oil in the bottom of the cavities. make sure the oil is very hot. the best yorkies you will ever have.

Answer 4

You certainley can, the batter mixture for yorkshire puddings calls for plain flour anyhow.

Ingredients
225g/8oz plain flour
pinch of salt
3 free-range eggs
1 free-range egg white (optional)
300-450ml/½-¾ pint milk
oil, lard or dripping, for cooking



Method
1. Sift the flour with the salt. Add the eggs and egg white, if using.
2. Whisk in 300ml/½ pint of the milk. The batter should hold and coat the back of a spoon. Leave to rest for 30 minutes to one hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
4. If the batter seems to have congealed after resting, simply add more of the remaining milk.
5. Oil or grease two 12-pudding-mould trays. Place in the hot oven until almost smoking.
6. Pour the batter into the mould trays until almost full. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until crisp. Serve.
