Maple syrup and bacon on them is delicious! What do you mean!? You could also make it with italian sausage or beef franks. Yorkshire puds on their own is the same method, works well in a muffin tin for individual ones. Must admit, served with a nice gravy is my favourite.

[@coffeecolic5799]

I was a chef for 20 years. One of the secrets I was told was the oil has to be extremely hot, to the point where it's smoking (heating under the grill is best) then add the batter to the oil. Obviously it goes without saying you have to be extremely careful and watch it constantly as you are heating the oil cuz the last thing you want is for the oil to catch fire! Another hints I was told was to make the batter well in advance. We used to make it the night before we intended to use the batter and leave it at room temperature overnight. If you make it correctly, the Yorkshire pudding should be quite light and fluffy and not solid. Also, you really should have it with gravy or onion gravy, preferably with nice buttery, creamy mashed potato, season with salt and pepper and served with garden peas. And I would suggest using real butter, not that American artificial rubbish. Real butter cannot be spread from the fridge

As a brit who has cooked this dish. Many times. Some golden rules cooking Yorkshire pudding. First use Plain Flour. Sounds counter intuitive. Plenty of white pepper in the mix. Best rising agent. Whisk your batter mix. To get air into the mixture. Only cook the sausages hakf way around. So the uncooked side faces up. You dont burn the sausages in the oven . The most important tip. Cannot stress this enough. Your oil in the pan. Idealy should be nearly smoking hot. Dush out of the oven. Ingredients in as quick as possible. Back in the oven. You should hear a good sizzle when you add the batter.its about retaining the heat. Your battervwhen cooked should be light, crispy and golden brown. Do not open the oven door as the dish is cooking.. i love this dish. Hope this helps. P.s. in yorkshire can be served as a sweet as well. With ice cream or jam. So your call about Maple syrup is spot on. Enjoy 😂😂😂😂

[@asseyez-vous6492]

[@markchappell3063]

Coming from a Yorkshire man and as others have said, smoking hot oil (or dripping if you wanna go to the next level with your Yorkies) is needed and the batter has to rest at room temp before adding (about an hour for the bubbles to come to the top). Be quick to add the batter to the hot oil / fat and straight back into the oven. If you want, you can add small pieces of onion and mixed herbs to the batter to make "mucky puddings". An easier way to make the batter is to measure out 4 eggs (can be a glass, jug or whatever you have to hand as long as you can see the level) and then use the same amount of flour and milk with salt and pepper added to taste.

[@vickytaylor9155]

A cup of plan flour, a cup of eggs, a cup of full fat milk and whisk the day before. No oil!, just a pinch of salt and that’s a Yorkshire pudding in a seriously hot oven. You heat your tray up with beef fat….. not much, but a small sizzling layer before you drop your sausages ‘pre cooked’ into it and then drop in the batter. Give it 45 mins and damn, make a gravy from beef stock, red wine, oxo, msg, and marmite ( one tea spoon). Cook the gravy with sautéed red onions and garlic. If it needs thickening, put some red wine into flour cold, then whisk and add it cold. The gravy will be better the second day too

[@markharding3505]

3 eggs, 150g plain flour, 150 mls milk, part fry sausages, place sausages in pan with oil which was preheated, put in oven for 5 mins, take out add the batter mix and back in the oven. Bake until batter has risen and golden brown, key ingredient is plain flour. It is most effective if the batter mix is made for at least 1 hour before baking.

Whoever told you not to bother with gravy is a nutcase. You should have left the mixture to rest for an hour or so at room temperature, and heated the dish up with oil in until it was smoking, then poured it in quick and put straight into the oven. The oil you added has ruined the mixture. It's supposed to rise and be light and crispy. It must be disgusting. Do it again, and do it right.

140grams plain flower, 4 eggs, 200ml milk. Heat oil in the dish in oven while while cooking the sausages. Once sausages are cooked and piping hot put them in the oil and add the batter.

[@ginge2062]

chef here....when you added more flour that could have been a mistake, and you definatly dont need water, just equal parts egg, flour and milk made the same way you did and you will have epic fluffy yorkshires, add the batter to the pan when the oil is smoking hot, have your oven around 210c and make sure your batter is room temperature before you add it to the pan, dont refrigerate just before you use it, the cold batter to a hot pan shocks the mixture and can cause problems, also the cold batter knocks the heat out of the pan to it cooks less effectivly, when you add the better it should start bubbling away on the oil. yorkshire puddings arnt hard to make but they are quite technical for what they are , the egg white is what makes them rise so when you added extra flour you threw off the balance, if the mixture if too thick it resists to much and dosnt let the egg do its job good luck for next time :)

[@paulharvey9149]

Really good first attempt guys, but there are golden rules to remember next time, that'll make it even easier and make your sausages taste better too: Firstly, pre-heat that oven - as high as it goes, then Put the oil into the oven dish, and heat it in the oven, until it's really hot. Meanwhile, prepare the Yorkshire Pudding by putting all the dry ingredients in your bowl first, then add the milk and eggs AND NO OIL - just a little bit at a time as you stir it all in, making a medium consistency batter. If it feels too tick, add a little water - but you may not have to. Then add your uncooked sausages to it - they will cook in the oil; and after a few minutes, add your batter mix and leave in the oven for about 25 minutes, by which time the batter will have risen about four-fold - at least arond the edges. Prepare your gravy while it's still in the oven. Red Onions will add some sweetness... When you remove it from the oven, the batter should have an almost crisp, shiny appearance, and the sausages (which are the 'toads') are literally at the bottom of holes in the Yorkshire Pudding! It can be difficult to get it right - very often the pudding doesn't rise that much in the middle, but practice makes perfect! So yes, do it again this way and you'll both see and taste the difference!

[@neilgayleard3842]

Add some cheddar with the onions . Use fat not oil, it gets hotter and will help the batter rise more.

[@TheMillieBurton]

This is the one. Served with mashed potatoes. Leave your insane syrup idea alone!!

I'd add onions to the bottom of the pan before adding the batter too. It adds a bit more flavour. It also seemed a bit light on pepper too. A little (!) mustard powder also adds flavour.

JT, you NEVER put oil in the batter mix, it goes in the container you are going to cook in. When you make toad in the hole, it should rise, not be flat as a pancake. Plus we NEVER use water ONLY milk, recipe below for you to try. Mashed potatoes gravy and toad in the hole😋 Ingredients 140g plain flour (this is about 200ml/7fl oz) 4 eggs (200ml/7fl oz) 200ml milk sunflower oil, for cooking Method STEP 1 Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. STEP 2 Drizzle a little sunflower oil evenly into two 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tins or two 12-hole non-stick muffin tins and place in the oven to heat through. STEP 3 To make the batter, tip 140g plain flour into a bowl and beat in 4 eggs until smooth. STEP 4 Gradually add 200ml milk and carry on beating until the mix is completely lump-free. Season with salt and pepper. STEP 5 Pour the batter into a jug, then remove the hot tins from the oven. Carefully and evenly pour the batter into the holes. STEP 6 Place the tins back in the oven and leave undisturbed for 20-25 mins until the puddings have puffed up and browned. STEP 7 Let them cool if there are too many let them cool down, and freeze, they will keep for a month Use the same recipe for toad in the hole, just use s different container to cook it in, not a huge glass dish but the size of a small to medium enamel ashit dish.

You need to get the batter in the oil or melted lard very quickly not as you did it , it's done in a few smooth movements and in the oven within under twenty seconds. 1. Slow cook sausages by two thirds or fully cooked in your going to cook separately 2. Make batter put in fridge for 30 minutes don't put lard or oil in batter mix 3. Make sure oven is on a high temperature what ever your temperature was 4. take batter out of fridge after 30 minutes 5. keep sausages warm in pan 6. keep electric on place tray on electric ring you cooked sausages turn to a high heat you must keep tray oil or lard hot and not let it go cold 7. Then very quickly pour in batter in to tray add sausages in 8. Open oven, put in oven, do not open again, until times up, as batter will go flat, and looses all it's air. 9. Your batter went a bit flat, and didn't rise that much 10. Gravy helps it a lot with mash potatoes or roast potatoes 11. Next time use two eight inch cake tins oil or lard, put in measurement jug and pour separately put both in tin cook without the sausages in them just add them at the end and gravy Love mom

[@madmonk3174]

Well what can I say! To start with a proper Yorkshire pudding can be used as a savoury dish or a sweet dish, (my uncle told me he a proper Yorkshire man) the savoury option is either with roast beef with your gravy and the Yorkshire pudding (small cup cake size) the sweet version is cold Yorkshire pudding with a bit of jam or marmalade! You don't need to precook the sausages before you cook the whole thing, you can make your batter by using 3 eggs, splash of milk and water (total of around 1z/4 pint) salt and pepper and add your flour till you get the consistency of thick cream then poor over the sausages and cook for 20/25 min at 180/190 or until its golden brown! Some people (including me) put sliced onions into the batter before pouring over the (uncooked sausages) this adds extra flavour to the dish! And I know all this because I'm a retired chef! But up and down the UK everyone has their own version of toad in the hole! The best place to get all English recipes from is the BBC food website! Hope to see more recipes from you guys very soon!

There's a reason we call our sausages "bangers", if you are cooking them in a pan you need to first pierce the skin with a knife or fork to let the steam escape, that's why they were moving about, otherwise you risk them popping and shooting hot oil everywhere (you don't have to do this if you are cooking them in the oven). As others have said though, for toad in the hole you typically cook them in the same dish that you will use for the batter at the end. I'm surprised that it came out as well as it did with the oil fiasco, but for sure it didn't have the texture it was supposed to and was probably quite greasy. It's a very simple recipe (equal parts flour, milk and eggs) that is designed to make the meat go further rather than taste particularly good so the texture is important and the gravy is essential as that is where the flavour comes from. As a side note, the gravy you have in the US, the white sausage gravy, would probably taste amazing with yorkshire puddings if you want to make a US/UK fusion meal...

[@colinstevens6837]

yorkshire pudding was originally used to wipe the gravy off the plate after dinner hence pudding. also it was poured into the hot fat in the bottom of the meat tray to cook while you eat dinner

If you guys ever use a British recipe you'll need a set of scales and a measuring jug, as we use weights for solids and liquid measures for fluids.

they have five sets of digital scales, see last package opening lol

[@chixma7011]

My grandmother (I’m a pensioner myself now) used to beat just one egg (5??!!) into half a pint of half water/half milk and gradually add it to 8 ounces (one cup) of AP flour, salt and pepper all mixed together in a pint jug. She would make it in advance and stick the jug in the fridge to get really cold, just giving it a good stir before pouring it into the dish, but it’s not strictly necessary, especially if you’ve been out at work all day. The thicker and richer you make the batter (5 eggs - and a bit more flour!! 😮) the less it will rise so don’t worry about it looking a bit thinner than you expected. It’s not meant to be as thick as pancake or waffle batter. If you’ve got a metal dish to cook it in you would also get a much lighter result because it will get hotter than a glass dish. Put the sausages with a little oil or meat dripping in the dish then pop them in the oven to start cooking while you’re mixing up the batter. They don’t need to be fully cooked when you pour on the batter. The oil, or preferably meat dripping, should be so hot it smokes so that the cold batter hitting it will immediately sizzle and puff up before it even gets back into the oven. Glad you had a go and enjoyed the flavour, but proper Yorkshire pudding should be more like an éclair in texture than a pancake. I recommend you have another run at it and use the 25 minutes cooking time to make the onion gravy on the top of the stove. You’ll be really glad you did. 😊❤

[@raesurtee4711]

All us brits screaming nooooooooo don't add oil to the mix, lol try it again just use the sausages you like and get onion gravy.

Yorkshire pudding recipe is easy as 1 - 2 - 3 Use the ingredients alphabetically. E, F, M. 1 Egg 2 oz plain flour 3 oz milk. Salt and pepper You need to put the oil in the pan and put it in the oven until it's smoking. Beat the ingredients into a batter and pour into the smoking oil. Approx 12 - 15 minutes job done

[@sentinel6660]

Best way to do Yorkshire Pud is to whip it until its bubbly, put it in the fridge until chilled, then add it to a hot porcelain dish with a little oil. Bang it in the oven for the specified time and no matter how much you want to look at how its cooking... DO NOT OPEN THE COOKER DOOR!

[@Poodz_]

You guys are hilarious. It turned out better than I thought considering the oil in the batter. Whoever said you don't need to bother with the gravy was lying.

It is usually served for either lunch or at tea/supper time with vegetables and onion gravy.

Agreed: the only time you'd pronounce 'shire' as it's spelled would be as an adjective in things like "Shire Horse" (and in rural Yorkshire, even that would be pronounced as "Shyer-oss"

When heating the oil add the sausages, it'll add flavour to the pudding mix. I also add sliced onion and sage to the batter mix. Definitely don't open the oven after you put it in, the cold air will stop it from rising.

No fail Yorkshire pudding recipe for 6. 200g plain flour 2 large eggs 300ml milk pinch of salt beat eggs, add salt, flour, add milk gradually whilst you beat to a thick smooth consistency, then beat to incorporate air place in fridge for 30 mins add the oil to the cooking vessel whilst you preheat oven to 220C/430F when the oil starts to smoke add the batter, place in oven and shut the door cook for 29 to 25mins or until golden brown and risen for toad in the hole place sausages in just after pouring batter and cook for the same time eat

[@grumpymunchkin1540]

Guys you used already cooked sausages!! Also in the UK we do not use cups as a measure. If it isn’t in either grams/ml or oz/floz it isn’t from here! Also… my best piece of advice, particularly following the oil shenanigans, read a recipe from the beginning to end before starting and don’t freestyle 😂🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@markpotter8280]

I really hope you do a follow up video to this showing the improvements you have made from following every ones suggestions

[@StephMcAlea]

I don't think ive ever seen toad in the hole without mashed potato and gravy. It would just seem really dry. It does look super oily... oh, and good job anna! 😊😊 The sausages seem a little 'fatty' due to the popping. Get some HP on! My mum's recipe is toad in the hole, a bit more black pepper, roast potatoes with a teeny bit of brown sugar on top to make them crunchy, green veggies, chicken or onion gravy, and redcurrant jelly/sauce. Make sure they're lean sausages. NOOOOO to syrup!

[@nigelhyde279]

Never felt the need for mashed potatoes, there’s enough carbs in the Yorkshire pudding. Gravy though is essential.

[@daisysunshine1324]

My Nan used to give us Yorkshire puds with jam. But sweet stuff on toads. Nah.

[@jameshead9119]

Same here it was always the meat portion in a school dinner of meat and two veg dinner meal with the pots being either baked boiled or mashed with dollops of gravy Ladled on top but that’s a long time ago before the schools changed to the cafeteria model ( frankly I think the old way was better even though the food tended to be bland it was more filling and cheaper than they get now )

[@gjhille0989]

oil goes in the pan, put the pan in the oven so the oil gets really hot, then add the sausages and the batter and cook until the batter rises. Have it with mash potatoes and veg - delicious!

[@dianebirt]

Always serve with gravy. Never add oil to the Yorkie. That is more than likely what flattened it. ‘Cup’ measures isn’t really what the Brits use but good effort on your first try. Don’t give up because when you get it right it’s really good and typically not eaten for breakfast.

[@johnlochness]

When I was a kid sometimes my mum used to make this with lamb chops instead of sausages. Omg that is so good. She also made it with minced (ground) beef. Brown the mince with onions, put in the hot dish then pour the batter over and bake. Amazing. Also, you need the dish to be hot and oil smoking before you pour the batter in, the batter should sizzle as you pour it.

[@CHEEKYMONKEY2647]

i use lard instead of oil... someone used oil because it was easier... the old way is to use lard in the pan, a good smear of lard all around the pan works great, i dont pre cook the sausages either i just put em in the pan and pour the batter mix over the sausages and then into a preheated oven... the fat from the sausages also help cook the batter. all you need now with that is mixed boiled ved and mashed potato and onion gravy.

[@RollerbazAndCoasterDad]

Yep

[@pershorefoodbanktrusselltr3632]

Definitely beef lard, it’s full off flavour, vegetable oil is bland and no good for batter mixture, plus you need that oil smoking hot!

1. Needs onion gravy 2. Batter needs to stand 3. a couple of eggs no a cup, flour, milk and eggs to give a batter the consistency of double cream 4. cook sausages a bit yes, but oil from sausages and extra oil needs to be smoking hot for the batter to rise. 5 serve with (potato) mash and gravy

[@ronaldkent1971]

Fantastic Anna, you're through to next round

[@sarahd2993]

Easiest way to make Yorkshire pudding mix is to get 3 cups equal size and fill one with milk, the other with flour and the last with eggs. Mix with salt and plenty pepper. Make sure when you mix it it has plenty little bubbles in the mix because that is what makes it rise. There is no need for water in the recipe. Perfect Yorkshire puddings every time.

[@uknivek53]

Your mix was far too wet with the oil and water try again without

[@thebolsta]

For 2oz of flour you need one egg, mix the egg with the flour to a smooth paste, slowly add milk (only a splash) and mix until a consistency of thick cream, allow to rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. After resting you may need to add one or two tablespoons of milk to adjust the thickness (the four will absorb some liquid as it rests) Preheat oven to "bloody hot" Heat beef dripping in a steel tray until smoking hot... Pour mix to a depth of half an inch and cook for 10-12 minutes... You can turn them over for 2 minutes at the end of cooking for a crispy bottom. Sent with love from Yorkshire.

[@Dawn_Melvin_In_Tenerife]

Your oven needed to be hotter and the fat in the dish hotter to get the Yorkshire pudding to rise and brown. It’s best served with roast potatoes or mash with veg and onion gravy, our good brown meaty gravy. It’s very good quick meal for families. The mixture you initially made is a batter, that we use for pancakes with syrup so you’re not far off. We do eat those minus the sausage though. I’m a traditional Yorkshire lass who has lived off Yorkshire puddings 😀

[@ritaboes]

Def with roast potatoes not with mashed potatoes and gravy( which we Dutchies don't even call gravy ). Duch gravy is thin and runny. 😂

[@Dawn_Melvin_In_Tenerife]

@@ritaboes it’s actually better with both 😋😋

[@ShaneWalta]

The oil doesn't go in the batter. But when Anna said that she'd eat it by itself and would prefer it sweeter, she's not totally wrong. My mum eats leftover Yorkshire pudding with jam spread on it.

[@dontaskme7004]

If you want a sweet version you can use the same batter but add banana's instead of sausages, serve with custard instead of gravy. My nan wouldn't waste anything, if there was batter left over from making Yorkshires for a roast she'd add in raisins (or similar dried fruit), some mixed spice (varies by brand but usually some combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cloves), a bit of sugar or syrup or treacle (molasses). Pour into small cake/muffin tins, then put those in the oven while we eat dinner. Pretty much whatever's in the cupboard to make use of the left over batter, the oven's already on, just a quick and easy dessert from what's laying around.

[@rickb3645]

It's a simple recipe for a Yorkshire Pudding Batter Mix guys... Equal quantities of Milk... Flour... And Eggs... So 1 cup of Milk... 1 cup of Flour... 1 cup of Eggs... It's that simple guys.

[@megandawson9835]

When I make toad in the hole I use the oil from the sausages to cook the pudding. Let me explain. I put the sausages in a metal pan on the hob or stove top and then when the sausages ate half cooked I put the batter in the pan and put that in the oven. It's something my mum and grandma did

[@ALMUK22]

Yes, I’d agree with that. A lot less work as well.

[@R989D]

Brit here…100% try “Delia Smith Toad and the hole” and “onion gravy” recipe you honestly can’t fail. You’ll get super risen fluffy pudding and I guess with American sausages being different to uk it’ll never taste exactly like the British version. But definitely gravy onion or regular is a must have. And my family’s tweet is to through in some chopped up leftover black pudding/haggis in with the sausages too but I know sooooo many people would say 🚫⛔️🙅‍♀️ to that 😂😂😂 but it’s honestly delish! In fact now I want that for my dinner!

[@Jenny.C1978]

Make the batter, making sure you beat it well. (I cheat and use an electric whisk) then leave it to rest for an hour. (Don't put oil in the batter). Meanwhile cook the sausages in the oil in the oven - some sausages are quite oily anyway so you may need less oil if your sausages are quite oily. Once the sausages are nearly done Open the oven door and pull out the shelf so you can immediately pour in the batter as quickly as possible (the oil should be smoking hot and the batter should spit when you pour it in). Immediately push the shelf in and shut the oven door and don't open it again until the Yorkshire pudding is a rich golden- brown colour. (Look through the window to judge if it's ready) the finished Yorkshire should have a slight crispness to the top and a softer inside and be served with gravy or (even better) onion gravy. Accompanied by mash or roast potatoes and a vegetable of your choice. (I like it with peas and mash).

[@lornafinch8855]

Please make it again WITHOUT the oil mixed in the batter, and have the oil in the dish really hot before adding the batter. It should rise much more than that. Plain Yorkshire pudding with golden syrup was a childhood dessert or 'afters' as we called it.

[@helenatyeo6840]

You two crack me up ...best tip is read the recipe through till you understand ..heat oil in pan b4 you start yorkshire pudding ..too many eggs for a british yorkshire ..put flour salt etc in bowl drop beaten egg in the middle mix then slowly add the milk beating in in bits to beat lumps out ..brown sausages in the oil in the tin already in oven ..brown not fully cook as will continue to cook wen batter is added ..dont forget to add salt n pepper to flour first..hope this helps . .but find a good british yorkshire pudding recipe 😊

As a chef of 30+ yrs the best Yorkshire Pudding recipe is equal quantity of eggs, flour and milk and seasoned to taste.

[@AnnMcKinlay-zp2ef]

With a bit less oil and leave out the water, my recipe from my grandmother! One cup, of whatever size, eggs,milk and flour. If it’s very stiff with just the egg and flour, add a little of the milk to the mixture as you go! If you can, use a mixer and, before you actually put it in the oven, whip it again! Make sure that your pan goes into the hot oven until the oil smokes before you add in the sausages and batter. Do that as quickly as you can, you want the oil to stay really hot!❤️❤️❤️

Easy Yorkshire pudding mix. 1 to 1 flour, eggs, milk, so if you are using the cup method of measurement, just make sure it's all equal amounts. Mix well and leave for a few hours in the fridge or over night if possible.
