Who doesn't love Yorkshire puddings, especially big ones!

I've made a few in the past which were big enough to serve your dinner in, always a nice touch but this was a flash of inspiration. For whatever reason, when cooking my Sunday roast, I decided to use my paella pan which I was bought for Christmas to put a little colour on my roasties.

Having finished, I was looking at the pan on the hob thinking I must cook a paella but also accepting that this was unlikely to be accomplished anytime soon. I stared some more, with it's angled sides, and then it came to me - make one massive Yorkshire pudding big enough to put everyone's dinner in.

Solid result.

When making puds, most people have their own way and have I tried many but the following recipe always deliverers good Yorkies, regardless of which size tray you use!

Step 1 - Prep the batter

Add the flour and salt to a bowl
Chuck in the eggs and turn until it starts to come together
Start adding the milk until it's a smooth batter
Leave in the fridge until ready

Step 2 - Prep the Heat

Set over the 220C
Put your tray or pan and give it time to get hot
When ready, add some vegetable oil, using a brush to make sure it covers the sides of the pan. Not loads but a couple of millimetres at least
Stick back in the oven for a couple of minutes so the oil is hot too
When ready, pour in your batter to about half way up

Step 3 - Look but don't touch!
