The precooked mix is a batter.
When it is cooked is it a pastry? a bread? a pancake?
Maybe that's just why it's called pudding because it's hard to class any other way.

Traditionally they were eaten before the meal to act as a filler.
Usually now a days they are eaten as part of the meal.

I've just had a left over one with some maple syrup as a snack and it was very tasty indeed.

It's a very versatile item.

When I was a child visiting my Yorkshire nanna we would have a large Yorkshire pudding filled with gravy as a starter, usually for Sunday lunch, then more with the main meal, any leftovers we children would eat them with golden syrup or jam

I have never thought of it before. I like the idea of eating one full of gravy! Mmmm! I just recently have started making them from scratch since I found a fool proof recipe! My head has been going wild with ideas on how to serve them! I make a sausage casserole and the gravy is amazing but I always have loads leftover - maybe thinking about making toad in the hole and using the gravy for that!

Not forgetting toad in the hole with onion gravy yummy.

it's a very Yorkshire thing to do, even been to restaurants that have served it this way

K's K, is your foolproof recipe the Brian Turner equal volumes one? It always works for me.

That's the one I use. Althought it is half & half water & milk and has a splash of vinegar.

Me, too. First time I tried I used all milk and omitted the vinegar, and it was too 'cakey'. Since I followed the Turner method properly, it's never let me down.

What is a Yorkshire pudding

very delicious wit bit gravy

Given that yorkshire puds are similar in make-up to pancakes then I guess they can be just as versatile as pancakes in terms of sweet or savoury. Personally though, as a yorkshire lass, I will stick to having them with my Sunday roast!

I dunno, but love 'em


When we were kids if there were any left after the sunday roast, we'd have them with jam for our pudding.

I like toad-in-the-hole but I'm not a fan of Yorkshire Puds with a roast. I'd rather have an extra spud or some more veg.
