Wednesday live chat: Healthy meals for busy families
Editor’s note: As promised in our live chat, here is chef Clifford Lyness’ recipe for Yorkshire pudding:
Yorkshire batter
Serves: 24 muffin-size Yorkies
Step 1: Soup
625 grams flour
12 eggs
1-1/2 litres milk
to taste Kosher salt
to taste Freshly Ground Black Pepper
300 milliliters oil or drippings
Combine flour, eggs, milk and seasonings. Place a little oil/drippings in each muffin compartment and place in a 425 F oven, when hot (at smoking point) pour batter into each cup 3/4 full. It is a good idea at this point to put a baking sheet below your muffin pan to collect the fat that will be displaced as the Yorkie rises. After 15 minutes at 425 F, turn the oven down to 370 F for 18 minutes then down to 350 F to finish. The Yorkshire pudding should be crusty and golden on the exterior and soft pudding-like dough on the inside.
