Yorkshire puddings with a twist

140ml Plain Flour
4 Large Eggs
Beat the above to a paste

Add 200ml semi-skimmed milk and keep whisking till it's all thin and bubbling - I use a hand whisk
Now add a teaspoon of italian herbs, a teaspoon of paprika, a good sprinkling of black pepper and same of preferebly a good salt - I like to use Maldon.

Heat oven to around 220c
Put in your pudding tins with an even spill of sunflower oil for around 5-7 mins (blue smoke)
Pour in your mixture to tins
Leave for 20-25 mins

Enjoy a lovely and slightly herby yorkshire - very good with roast chicken!

Marinate the chicken for as long as possible then cook on a bbq.
Chopped lettuce, cucumber, tzatziki, warmed pittas and skinny chips with greek chip salt on.
Give me a cold beer and I'm in my happy place.

Korean bbq belly pork with kimchi, fried garlic and ssamjang served in a lettuce leaf also gets an equally high amount of praise.

Have you made your own flat breads? Dead easy and therapeutic kneeding the dough.

Here are a few little things I’ve picked up that seem to work.

1. Yorkshire Puddings, make well ahead and remix two or three times during the standing period, 5 minutes before you cook add a squirt of cold water from the tap and mix again, I also use self raising flour and they come out a treat.

2. Mince, instead of browning off in a pan use the oven instead, gives the mince more texture and is healthier as you’re not using oil or fat.

3. Roasting meat, remove from fridge an hour before cooking and allow to reach room temperature, always remove string etc, spread open the legs and wings on a bird, add a pint of stock, wine, beer, water to the bottom of the roasting tray, it will stop the meat drying out, remove the meat when you put your Yorkshire’s in and cover to rest.

At the start of lockdown during the great flour shortage of 2020 I thought I was being clever buying 10kg of chapati flour to make bread with, I wasn't!

Anyhow we've made a fair few chapati's and flat breads with it over the summer! I agree pretty therapeutic and great when you stack them in tuppaware to keep them warm. The one I struggle with is making my own tortillas. The ones we get shop bought over here aren't great. The soft corn ones are ok, but never look like the ones I see on Mexican recipes. I bought some mesa to make my own but it just ended up really grainy and crumbly
