Mini Yorkies Food Recipes

NO-FAIL YORKIES

Steps:

• Up to 3-4 hrs before cooking, mix together the milk, eggs, flour and 2 tsp salt in a food processor or blender until you have a smooth batter. If you don't have a food processor or blender, whisk the eggs into the flour and salt, then gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Transfer to a jug, cover and leave at room temperature for at least 15 mins.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and brush 12 holes of a muffin tin with the oil. Heat the tin in the oven for 5 mins, then carefully lift out and quickly pour the batter into the holes. Bake in the oven for 5 mins, then reduce oven temperature to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 and cook for a further 30 mins until puffed, risen and golden.

MINI YORKSHIRE PUDDING WITH ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl beat together the eggs, milk and butter. Make a well in the flour and whisk in the wet ingredients gradually until fully combined and smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the batter to rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 3 mini nonstick muffin tins. Place the tins in the oven to heat up for at least 10 minutes. Give the batter a quick stir and pour it into each muffin cup filling halfway leaving room for them to rise.
• Place in the oven and do not open for 30 minutes. They should rise after 30 minutes and be golden all over. Remove from oven. Top with a thin slice of roast beef and a small dollop of horseradish on each pudding. Garnish with sprig of chive. Serve immediately.

ROAST BEEF YORKIES

Steps:

• Cook your Yorkshire puddings following pack instructions. Meanwhile, mix the horseradish, mustard and crème fraîche or soured cream together.
• Fold a slice of pastrami or roast beef into each pudding, top with a dollop of the mustardy cream, then scatter with chives or crispy onions and serve.

FROM-THE-FREEZER YORKIES

Steps:

• Mix together the milk, eggs, flour and a pinch of salt in a food processor or blender until you have a smooth batter. If you don't have a food processor or blender, whisk the eggs into the flour and salt, then gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Transfer to a jug, cover and leave for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Pour ½ tsp oil into the holes of a Yorkshire pudding or muffin tin and put in the oven for 10 mins to get hot.
• When the oil is hot, pour the batter into each hole a third of the way up. Quickly put in the oven, then turn it down to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and cook for 12-15 mins. Remove the Yorkies, turn them upside down in the tin and return to the oven for another 2-3 mins to brown the bottoms.
• Allow to cool completely on a wire rack, then put in a tight-sealing freezer bag or container and freeze for up to a month.
• When ready to cook, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the frozen Yorkies on a baking sheet and cook for 6-8 mins until golden and hot.
