Speedy, if we can deliberately get the thread topic to drift significantly we can get it locked so we don't have to read too much of the same old bickering.
So, here goes
My recipe for yorkshire puddings (the fried batter is also good for pancakes))
5oz plain flour 1/2 pint whole milk and water mixed (or use semi-skimmed without the water) 1 egg pinch salt 1 tbsp oil
Add the milk/water, egg, salt and oil into a liquidiser. Close lid, turn on at full speed. While switched on, remove the addition hole stopper in the lid and add the flour, a dessertspoon at a time until the mixture is thick and even. Leave to stand for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, oil a pudding tin and heat at the top of the oven on gas mark 7 (220 degrees C, 440 Fahrenheit) for around 15 minutes. Take out and place on a hot ring. Quickly add the batter to the tin, return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR DURING THIS TIME.
After the 15 minutes, remove and turn the pudding tin around to ensure even baking. Replace in the oven and bake until the outside is crisp and the inside is still soft, around another 15-20 minutes.

Delicious with roast beef and onion gravy.
OIL????? You need full on lard (or better still, dripping)!
