R.I.P. Yorkshire Pud.!

Thank you. Loved this. However, my grandchildren would go into terminal decline if the 'Yorkshires' disappeared. Never seems to dull their appetite though.

DS Made these. I can’t.

What??? How very dare they! Splutters in disbelief at the thought! Lucca I can’t either . My mother would turn in her grave! They look superb. I rely on everyone’s favourite Auntie for mine! Great post Rufus!

It's a standing family joke that my Yorkshires are, to say the least, variable and me a Yorkshire lass! My sons make fantastic ones and so did my mother, somehow it skipped a generation. The GCs are bribed to eat all their meat and veg by the promise of an extra one (at least when I'm not making them!) Thanks Rufus2 but the Yorkshires must remain! Should I start a petition or form the YPPL (Yorkshire Pudding Protection League)?

I remember my nan having a pud as a starter. Never appealed to me but I do like a pud as a pud (afters). Accompanied by syrup or jam. My mixes always make 8 puds cooked in the muffin tin. 2 each for our dinner and 2 each for our pud. The 2 after puds have sultanas in usually.

I've always made a reasonable pud but for the past 6 years I've made them with dried skimmed milk. Neither of us take milk in hot drinks now and have soya with cereal+porridge so I tried dried. They are superb and get commented on when feeding those coming for dinner.

As a true Yorkshire lass, I`ll put your unbelievable comments down to the fact that you`re a Lancastrian.

Don't know why I gave you a capital `L`? You clearly don't deserve it!

Get rid of Yorkshires indeed! How very dare you!

Here to stay in our Yorkshire home too!
Always with beef here.
I also make mini yorkies and serve them as a canapé with rare beef and horseradish or a mini sausage and a dollop of mushy peas.

I thought it was the law to have Yorkshires m with roast beef? I think I make a pretty good one. Sometimes one large one and other times muffin sized ones. My younger son makes pretty good ones too. Any left over are delicious with treacle and whipped cream as a pre-pudding!

My mother, from Yorkshire, always made one big one rather than several little ones. It was delicious.

I’ve never tried to make one. I don’t enjoy spending my time cooking.

We have Yorkshire puddings every Sunday but I am a good Yorkshire lass!

One of my favourite meals is all the left over veg and meat from the previous day's roast dinner served up in a large Yorkshire pudding with lashings of proper gravy ( no granules here ).

Yorkshires are the best bit of a roast beef dinner, my AC want them with every roast dinner mind you ?
Another Yorkshire girl here who makes them the traditional way, one large one baked in a square tin and cut into portions.
The round individual ones do look good though.
Funny article Rufus though really showing your Lancastrian envy of all things Yorkshire ( you know you can’t compete!)?

I hadn't made any for a long time as DH isn't keen (strange man) but I was cooking beef a couple of weeks ago and made some and am pleased to say that they looked like yours, Lucca.

I have made large ones too, but the best tin I had for them disappeared.

Grandma70s you don't have to enjoy cooking. They are so easy to make. Honestly, have a go. In not a great cook but my yorkies are fabulous.

Rufus I've eaten Yorkshire puds in Australia too.

It'll be RIP Aussie Pies next!

My mum always made a large one, with some of the fat from the roasting tin and she made gravy with the rest of the juices, in the tin, on top of the stove. Delicious. I don't think the small ones taste quite the same.

I thought that the idea of the large ones, as now served in pubs, was that the rest of the food was put into it, rather along side it.

We lived with my Yorkshire Gran when I was a child and she made the small ones for dessert. With golden syrup.
Mine weren't as good as hers, but my family liked them in round caketin size filled with mince, or tuna and corn etc.

Lemongrove Surely you jest!? Have you not heard of Lancashire HotPot? The envy of all Yorkshire!
The "Hairy Bikers" have a lovely recipe for it on TV
And the gravy! Don't forget to save some of your bread roll for mopping up your plate at the end! You won't have seen cleaner plates; better than any dishwasher!
Bon appetite

A large Yorkshire pudding filled with beef and vegetable stew is a comforting midweek meal in the winter. As my father used to say “it puts hairs on your chest!” And no, I am not showing anyone my chest?!!

Oh yummy greyduster my mouth is watering just thinking about it
( the Yorkie not your chest !!).

As another Lancashire Lassie originally I treat with scorn the appropriation of batter pudding by the primitive fowk of the wastelands east of the Pennines. Batter pudding should, of course, be made as one unit, baked in the hottest oven you can manage with the edges tall and crisp and the middle flat and moist from the drippings of the meat above it. It should be filled with gravy and nothing else, and served before the main course to reduce the appetite for expensive meat. A little expensive butcher's meat beats a lot of cheap supermarket meat any time and Lancashire people know the value of everything as well as the price of everything!

The only thing that annoys me more is the cult of Yorkshire tea. Obviously the best tea comes from J Atkinson & Co, of Lancaster. Their everyday Lancaster Blend thecoffeehopper.com/product/lancaster-blend-tea/ knocks Yorkshire Tea for six even more effortlessly than a Lancashire opener against the best seam attack Yorkshire can muster. For the special occasion Atkinsons will do you a Silver Needle white tea at £5,000 per kg but the Lancaster Blend is very reasonably priced.

Well, ee ba gum! That’s told us then!?

Has anybody mentioned “the only good thing to come out of Lancashire is t’road to Yorkshire ?”

We only ever had Yorkshires with beef when I was a child. Now they seem to be served with every roast. They will never die in this house. We have just had toad in the hole for tea.
