Yorkshire pudding and fire

Yorkshire pudding and fire are not a good combination. I had a lovely roast, potatoes and other vegetables cooking when David asked for Yorkshire pudding. Yorkshire pudding? I don't have an ounce of English blood in me, how am I supposed to make that? But I found a recipe, followed it just fine, and put the batter in muffin tins filled with drippings from the roast, as the recipe told me to do. I popped the muffin tin in the oven and within minutes I had a lovely fire going. As the fire blazed, I checked the recipe again to see if it actually called for open flame. It did not. Soon alarms were ringing, smoke was filling the kitchen and my lovely little puddings were not so lovely. What did I do wrong?

I have no idea, but I would have been cursing like an English sailor :lol:

Grease fire, I'm guessing. I'm thinking the pudding needs a super hot oven...if I remember...and some grease on the oven, on top of the batter, or the pan might have been enough to ignite. No, fire roasted probably doesn't make a good pudding.

Worthy of a good story though, thank you.

Good for you Kim for trying to make from scratch! :clappurple:

I buy President's Choice Yorkshire pudding from the frozen section. They are not quite as good as homemade, but really easy, out of the box and into the oven.

Fire and smoke alarm, how did Mady react?

Good wife? :twitch:

She burned my Yorkshire Pudding! :evil:

That, a good wife does not make!

Now please excuse me as I have to check my will, funeral arrangements, and organ donor card are all in order...

yorkshire puds are really easy. I always make the batter, and cook it in a flat baking tin. Put a drop of oil in the tin and put the tin in a really hot oven. Just before I pour the batter in the tin I boil a kettle and put a dollop of boiling water in the batter stir quickly and put in the baking tin. The batter should sizzle when it hits the tin....xx
