If you’re planning on enjoying a Yorkshire pudding or 10 today, then it could be worth following this clever cooking hack to get them tasting perfect every time
It’s Yorkshire Day today and many of us will be celebrating by enjoy Yorkshire puddings by the bucketful.
The puds are notoriously tricky to cook, so many of us get them from the supermarket. But did you know there’s an easier way to make them at home using just three household ingredients?
A TikTok foodie shared the recipe where she baked perfectly fluffy Yorkshires – and you don’t even need to spend much money on ingredients.
The cooking content creator, known as Ilena, posted the recipe online for her 250,000 followers. She explained: “Did you know that you could make Yorkshire puddings with pancake mix? Yes you can.
“One cup of pancake mix, three quarters of a cup of whole milk, I’m cracking open two eggs, whisk really well.”
She goes on to say you need to preheat your oven to 220 degrees Celsius before putting your mix in muffin tins. She also advised putting a teaspoon of oil in the muffin tins to avoid the batter sticking.
Ilena put the tray in the oven to make the oil hot, then poured in the batter. She let everything bake for around 20 minutes – and you’ll want to avoid opening the oven door during this time.
If you let any air in, you run the risk of the Yorkshires sinking and becoming unpleasantly stodgy. When the time’s up, simply take your Yorkshire puds out and enjoy!
Commenters were excited about the pancake mix hack and couldn’t wait to give it a go next time they make a roast dinner. One person said: “You just changed my life.” And another said: “Can’t wait to try!”
