[If you’ve been
following Cooking With Jax either online (www.CookingWithJax.com) or on Facebook
(www.Facebook.com/CookingWithJax)
you will know that I have been travelling for the past couple of weeks. I had a conference in Seattle, so my husband
and I thought we would plan this year’s holidays around it. We spent the first part of the week touring
the US (Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) and finished off our trip with
a visit to my grandparents who live on Vancouver Island.
Whenever we visit my
grandparents we eat extremely well - my Grampa has a garden that would rival
even the most experienced gardeners and my Gramma is an amazing cook who makes
everything from scratch. Nearly everything
I know about gardening or cooking has came from them.
Gramma is from
England so one of her specialties is a traditional English feast – roast beef with
all the fixings, which includes her very own homemade Yorkshire pudding. The only way to describe her Yorkshire
pudding would be absolute perfection.
They are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside – paired with her
beef gravy, there really is nothing better. My entire family raves about them, so I thought
that I would share the recipe so your family can enjoy them as much as we
do!]
Recipe makes 12
individual Yorkshire pudding
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- approx. 1/8 cup oil
(or for even more flavour, use beef drippings).
You will need about ½-1 tsp per muffin tin.
Directions
Preheat oven to 425
degrees.
In a blender, whip
the eggs until frothy. Add milk, and
continue to whip until combined. Add
flour and salt until well blended. You
can make this mixture ahead of time (1/2 hour to an hour ahead of baking), just
be sure to whip it again before filling muffin tins.
Pour oil into muffin
tins to cover the bottom – if you use too little oil, the individual Yorkshire
pudding will stick. If you use too much
oil, the grease will bubble over the muffin tins and make a mess of your oven.
Tip – Gramma likes to use a sheet of tin foil on the bottom rack of her oven to
catch any spills.
Now here is the most
important step of all – place muffin tins filled with oil in pre-heated oven until
oil is smoking hot.
Give batter a final
whip, then fill the preheated muffin tins approximately half full (Gramma pulls
out the oven rack slightly and pours the batter directly into the tins while
they are still in the oven). If you have
any extra batter, you can add it to a shallow cake pan (this is Grampa’s
favourite).
Bake for 25 minutes,
or until muffins have risen out of tin (pictured above) and are golden brown.
Also on the menu were green beans from Gramp's Garden.
He had just picked them that morning.

Gramma also made these incredibly bomb roasted potatoes.
...and of course her delicious homemade gravy.
... we also had some chutney that's older than I am. Seriously, I ate this with my roast and it was awesome.
Here's my Gramma, the creator of all these delicious items and my favourite cook in the whole world.
Here's a shot of Gramps, the officially meat carver.
Probably because he does such a darn good job!
The carving set Grampa uses to cut the roast has been passed down in our family for a few generations. They belonged to my Grampa's Grampa! So this is my Great, Great Grandfather's carving set.
... and finally, the whole masterpiece.

Hi: I had to check and your is just like mine with the exception of 1-2 tab of melted butter added. I also learned one little trick, make sure your milk and eggs are room temp. or slightly warm, this helps the puddings really rise. Variation: add a squirt of Dijon mustard and a couple of cubes of gruyere to each cup after filling, these are also really yummy as an accompanyment to soups!
ReplyDeleteGruyere, now there's an idea! :)
DeleteThe fact that you're reading this piece proves you're not one of them.
