YORKSHIRE PUDDING

This is another recipe I have been using a long time. I was taught to make this by Steve Conway at Pipers Pub in Antigonish. The recipe (more of method than actual recipe) he gave me was “equal parts water and egg plus 1 egg, whisk together, then whisk in flour until it ribbons when you lift the whisk”

A couple of important things to note when you are baking them. Have a pan under your muffin tins, when you add the batter and they start to bake the oil will over flow. A pan is needed to catch the extra oil. Next, the oil must be very hot when you add the batter, so that it cooks the batter instantly

This is not exactly a traditional recipe, as the old recipes called for the rendered fat from the roast beef. This way uses a vegetable oil, it make it a bit lighter.
