Yorkshire Pudding Busting The Myth

[@BackyardChef]

HERE IS WHY EVERYONE THINKS IT HAS TO BE SECREAMING HOT!!!!! Yorkshire pudding originated in Yorkshire, England. The dish is a staple of British cuisine and has a rich history dating back to the 18th century. The earliest recorded recipe appears in a book titled "The Whole Duty of a Woman" published in 1737, where it was referred to as "A Dripping Pudding"-the drippings being the fat from roast meat. The name "Yorkshire Pudding" was popularised later. It was associated with the region of Yorkshire because cooks there were reputed to be particularly skilled at making them high and well-risen. This reputation was possibly due to the high heat from the region's coal, which was essential for achieving the characteristic puffiness of the dish. Screaming hot pans in a screaming hot oven! By the time Hannah Glasse's influential cookbook "The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy" was published in 1747, the recipe had evolved, and she was the first to refer to it specifically as "Yorkshire Pudding." Her version solidified its status as a key component of the British Sunday roast, especially paired with roast beef. Yorkshire Pudding has been cherished in Britain for centuries, not only for its taste but also for its practicality, as it was originally used to make use of the fat that dripped from the roast meat, cooking the batter beneath the meat as it roasted. This tradition of practicality and deliciousness continues to make Yorkshire Pudding a beloved part of British culinary heritage.

Wow! Thanks Rik! Very interesting. Since I've become friends with my Cornish comrade, I've taken an intrest in English history. Wife and I are planning on making the trip in the future. Appreciate you my friend! Jay

I'm a 60 year old American. I do almost all the cooking in our home and I enjoy it immensely. But I've never even seen, except on TV, much less tasted, Yorkshire Pudding. In fact, this is the first time I've typed or written that name. And, as usually happens with your videos, I'm so hungry from watching you work that I WILL be making them soon. I'm leaving for the grocery store now.

You’ve never lived until you’ve had Yorkshires and a good gravy !😂👍🏻

Make them......they're delicious....with tons of gravy😊

[@elayjayudny9741]

You can eat Yorkshires with anything that Americans eat “biscuits” with - much lighter and more delicious 😋 You can also make a sweet version - add little chunks of apple and some sugar and cinnamon. Best wishes from a Granny in Scotland 😊

I often wondered about needing smoking hot oil as we used to buy frozen uncooked Yorkshire Puddings - just frozen batter and oil in a foil cup - they worked perfectly every time.

[@BackyardChef]

Exactly! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@Lynn.Panadero4242]

I married into a Welsh family. My in laws had lived in England a few years. They made the best Yorkshire pudding ever. My first experience was rather comical. I came home late from working the evening shift. Everyone had gone to bed, but they saved me leftovers. Beef stew and Yorkshire pudding. I found the stew easy enough. It was delicious. I couldn’t find any pudding in the fridge, but saw the “pastry shells” on the counter. Thinking that they were a dessert, I spooned in some black raspberry preserves, topped it off with whipped cream, and ate it like a cream puff. Because the preserves had been left out, I assumed that was how they enjoyed it. The next morning, we all had a laugh. I’ve never put preserves on them again, but I must admit that they were rather tasty.

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for sharing. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@scathatch]

I was born in Yorkshire. My mum was Welsh and we moved to Liverpool. She made the most delicious Yorkshire pudding in a big Tray. Puffed up beautifully every time and with the home made gravy from the roast beef it was an unforgettable treat.

Thank you for showing how to do these safely and without nasty smoke filling the kitchen. Recently I was recalling how my maternal grandmother made her Sunday dinner Yorkshire Puddings.

Hello Rik, next time I cook Yorkshire puddings, I will be cooking them like this. I did notice, yesterday, when you cooked the roast pork dinner, that you didn't heat up the oil, just the bun tin. And thought, I'll have to remember that. Thanks for sharing.

[@BackyardChef]

Jenny you are one of the few that noticed. You can put oil in the tin if you like. However it does not need to be in the oven for 10 minuets and smoking hot. Its only got to be warm. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@jennyt966]

@BackyardChef I think it's safer your way and the Yorkshire puddings look amazing.

[@BackyardChef]

@@jennyt966 Thank you. Best, Rik

[@andix3944]

I was always taught if the tin was not searing hot with sizzling fat in it, the yokshires would not rise. Have always preheated the tin with goose fat till roasting hot before adding the batter, but its messy and dangerous when the fat spills or splashes. Thanks for the myth-busting Rik, I will definitely give your method a try 👏

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@ceeveekaye]

I'm in the south (US) and had never heard of a Yorkshire pudding til I saw your original video on them. I followed it and came out with beautiful Yorkshire puddings the first time I made them! I've used bacon fat but I don't anymore because they're just as delicious using vegetable oil and it's just simpler to use that instead. The trick is to be patient and let the batter sit for the 20-30 minutes if not a little longer and to have a really hot pan to pour it into. Thanks for another great video:) Edit: I just realized you didn't put the oil in the pan before warming it! So this is even better. I'm going to make these right now using the air fryer. I can be making these all day and freezing them. Thank you!

[@BackyardChef]

[@Ozziecatsmom]

Those look amazing! I’ve never made Yorkshire puddings, wasn’t brought up on them. I’ve always wanted to try to make them but thought it was too difficult. Now here is a recipe I’m going to try! Thanks Rick!

[@BackyardChef]

You got this, its not difficult even if they do not rise all the way up! You can still eat them. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@jennythescouser]

Maybe the myth stemmed from when everyone used lard for cooking. Heating up the stored lard might remove any bacteria that may have got in while it was sat in the larder (pre-fridge days). BTW, I made a Full English Breakfast at the weekend and used your boiled sausage method. It was really nice.

[@BackyardChef]

No it came form the days of coal fired ovens when everything was screaming hot. Thank you. Best, Rik

I’m a Yorkshire lass so grew up making these, and I never measure anything for puds just chuck it in and whisk it together works for me, also have put them in cool oil and they still rise.

I remember you did the same experiment some time ago, when your oven ajust arrived, granted the results where hit and miss due to the fan, because the fan is at the top is causes a vorex circulation down, which spirals the liquid.

@@chucky2316 I'm always hungry when I'm watching his videos, but I knew this one was addressing some questions from yesterday's video.

[@drmoss_ca]

My grandmother (from Durham) used to serve Yorkshire pudding with gravy before we were allowed the main dish (to reverse the famous Pink Floyd line: how can you eat your meat unless you eat your pudding?) That was all about filling us up before we got near the expensive meat. My mother learned from her, and while she never served the pudding first, she always taught me the oil should be smoking before putting the batter in the pan. The ultimate test is in the edge of the puddings - sharp or lumpy? It should be sharp. Later I was exposed to an abomination of Yorkshire pudding made in a flat tray for school dinners: wet, soggy, chewy (and, no doubt, hard to light). Very nasty. Since I moved from the UK to Canada, and married a vegetarian, the only roasts I produce are the occasional pot roast for me and my carnivorous son. I'm thinking he deserves to know that Yorkshire puddings exist over here and are easy to make.

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for sharing. Loved reading. Sounds like you have a plan. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@ukgroucho]

Yeah but since my wife and I went pescatarian at the start of the year I still do (e.g) Sunday nut roast with roasted veg and Yorkshires (and gravy) . Just substituting the protein.

If you put 3 eggs in a glass, then get another glass exactly the same and fill with plain flour up to the height of the eggs, then put the flour into a bowl the use that glass and add milk and water to the height of the eggs, then add the eggs, milk and water and some salt and pepper to the mixture you can't go wrong. If you want to make more or less, just use more or less eggs, just make sure everything matches up

I was helping at a yorkshire pudding competition and I had 2 teenage teams. Yorkshires mixed in tins and into the oven filled with the batter. It was about that time I notice one of the ovens was not on still cold. Pointed it out to the girls and they turned the oven on batter still in the oven. 30 minutes later out came the Yorkshires cooked to perfection and remarkably that team won.

[@BackyardChef]

Fingers crossed! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@ukgroucho]

At 5000 ft I'd add 5 or 10 mins to the cooking time. Can't do much about how hot your oven goes. If they still don't rise then add a teaspoon of baking powder in the batter to give them a lift. I've cooked 'at altitude' at a friends place on Donner Summit in California - around 5000ft - and it definitely changes the way stuff behaves.

[@willemslie]

Almost perfect. I'm old school: 8 oz flour, half pint of 80:20 milk/water. I use 2 large or three medium eggs. Pretty much like you but it might help the decimally challenged Yankees round here. The quantities aren't critical, within reason. So far I think you've got it right. BUT... I find using dripping rather than oil really helps the flavour. It's also lower in toxic trans fat, if you care about that. And I find that having the oil hot rather than warm (not spitting, just hot) helps the rise. But I would be very happy with the result you got. That may be partly a function of the "air fryer" (basically a fan oven) which not all of us have. Done with warm oil in a conventional oven, these may disappoint. (I am not a Yorkshireman by birth but have been resident since 1989 ;-)

great video rik as a fellow Yorkshire man I'd like to add that the pudding was a cunning way of filling the belly before the expensive meat arrived. As a child I enjoyed them with cheese (Yorkshire cheese from Swaledale) and jam. Even today I will make them as a snack. I'm not sure if this is true, but I think the fresher the egg the better the rise - but that is only because the odd failure I have had used old eggs (2 weeks beyond the best before date but still safe). Don't play with egg dates in countries that wash the eggs and they need to be refrigerated

[@ukgroucho]

I do bigger yorkies in my smaller than your air fryer - 4 larger ones. Largely driven by the size of tray that fits. First thing I learned to cook as a child (I was 6 or 7) 'cos I liked them so much. And as another poster said my mum used to do the big tray style - which is a great vehicle for toad in the hole. I think the super hot fat thing possibly arose from people not wanting the yorkshires to stick to the tin. Not so much of an issue with modern non stick pans. I usually drop a little knob of butter in my 4 pot tin and let them have 3 or 4 mins in the air fryer before I add the batter. Also important to note that if you make the batter in advance and stick it in the fridge then you need to pull it out at least 30 mins (preferably an hour) before you cook so it gets to close to room temp.

Yorkshire puddings are the best and endall of Sunday lunch, I'm happy to sit and watch the babies grow for 20 mins but if I get distracted by a few minutes and they burn, that's it dinner ruined. I never done it 4 eggs normally just 2 and no water might need to tweak my recipe every thing else is the same but the oil does need to be warm, it's not Sunday and now I'm hungry 🤭👍👍

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

I have always done the screaming hot oil method. From now on, not anymore. Thank you very much Rik. Side note: If you have a stick blender they really poof up.

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for the tip! Thank you. Best, Rik

Nothing wrong with miss shapen , tastes exactly the same, we’re not Michelin chefs, just want good home cooked food! I’ve been saying for years, chefs love to make you-think Yorkies are hard to do! “ only the freshest of eggs, only whole milk, let it rest for at least 3 hours, don’t overbeat the batter! 🤷🏻‍♂️ In fact they’re harder to get wrong than right! Mine are great every time, doesn’t matter how hot the oil is! Great video 👍

[@BackyardChef]

Exactly!! Thank you. Best, Rik

Made Yorkshire puddings for the first time ever last week - they were so light and delicious but I did worry about carrying the heated oil out of the oven to pour the batter in so I am definitely going to use this method next time. I wish I had known this recipe decades ago when I was raising my children on my own on a very tight budget. I used to make dumplings that I would drop batter into the soup or stew just to fill them up but man, these would have been so much better! 😀 P.S. - I'm Aussie so did not grow up with these, but wish I had. I had heard of them but thought they were from Yorkshire and only cooked there. LOL

[@BackyardChef]

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. Thank you, Best, Rik

[@Susietacoma]

🇬🇧I am going to buy a scale. You just convinced me! Thank you. Those puddings look so delicious!

I never remember my Great Aunt or my Grandma (sisters) using high heat/smoking hot oil when they made them for us. We love to make Yorkshire Puddings too as we're from Yorkshire :). They're inexpensive to make but they're such a treat x

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

Hello BY CHEF. Just made Yorkshire puddings in the Air Fryer like your one. Honest to god first time they came out great. Sometimes mine come a little thicker than a pancake😂😂 thank you for giving me the confidence to again. Look forward to watching your next video ✋✋🤗

[@BackyardChef]

Well done, awesome. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@lisajayne3859]

Xx

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@PAM-ud9lv]

Omg Rik just brill. I mentioned how scary it was with the hot oil. Fantastic this is the way I’ll go. I’m making roast pork tonight and these also. Thanks so much. Just love your channel

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@aussienebula8331]

Great channel Rik, bringing simplicity back to the kitchen. Cheers🍻

[@BackyardChef]

Always! Everyone can cook. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@essiebessie661]

I’ve never even thought about making these until now. Now I need to learn what to do with them!

[@BackyardChef]

Just eat! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@David-lr2tj]

What makes the sunken centers in the puds instead of the flat tops on popovers? The oil is the only thing I see different between the recipes. Thanks for all the videos. We love you in Vermont!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@elaine58100]

Thanks Rik for directing me to this. Another thing (and I also do it) why do we use milk and water and not just all milk? And would semi-skinned work too? Your Yorkshires look fabulous misshapen or not - get that gravy on. Sensational!! From now on this is how I will be making my Yorkshire Puds. So no more jittery nerves getting smokin' hot beef dripping out of the oven. Thanks again Rik your the best :)

[@BackyardChef]

Water evaporates off quickly causing steam - making for a crispier batter (so they say) Semi-skimmed works. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@JohnWellings-k8d]

Well done Rik. Like your channel, and yorkshire puds

[@BackyardChef]

Awesome, thank you! Best, Rik

[@drummingriffin]

Cracking Yorkies Rik, thanks mate. Norm in Yorkshire 😉

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks, Norm. Best, Rik

[@trinitywright7122]

These look so good. It's just amazing. I've never had one. I know that's yummy

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

My late husband always made the perfect Yorkshire pudding. As a Firefighter and a Captain, he loved doing the cooking when he worked on a Sunday. Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding was a favorite. He used lard, not oil.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@AnnHoyle-h1f]

I’m still gobsmacked over the looks of these and after not using the traditional hot fat. Also, you only half fill the tins with the mixture and they still rise up high and perfect….impressed….

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Did you read why they were originally made with screaming hot fat - those days are gone! Best, Rik
