Gees Yorkshire Pudding

Hi Dominic!
Recipe handed down to you by Gee (Muriel Bell) your great-grandmother (thats your fathers, mothers mother)

Serves FOUR people (so DOUBLE ingredients for 8!). You need oil (Mum April 2025 said need "Lard or Beef Dripping"), self raising flour, eggs, milk, salt & pepper.

  1. Pre-Heat oven to 200 C degrees 
  2. Heat 8 table spoons of sunflower oil (or whatever oil you have) in a baking tray on a cooking ring - until oil is smoking!
  3. Make the batter in a large bowl
    1. Weigh  ~1 large cup (150 grams) of self raising flour into the bowl. Note: MUST be SELF raising not PLAIN white flour!
    2. crack open 2 eggs and add to bowl
    3. pour in ~2 large cups (400mls) of green top (semi skimmed) milk
    4. add lashings of salt and pepper
    5. stir batter for a couple of minutes (or stir with electric whisk for 1 minute) 
  4. Pour batter into the smoking oil in the baking tray
  5. bake for about 40-50 minutes in oven until it looks like this....

Dominic, Enjoy Gees Yorkshire Pudding with your University of Kent friends!!
