This guy's a genius.

Well bless me!
Good awld dairyless Yorkshire puds were a resounding success!!
In actual fact, I would actally swear they are bigger, lighter and crispier than the lactate variety!
Thanks to IMOR for the challenge!

Imor,
Thanks hoveboy.
Had some probs with coffee but take it black, Turkish style, now.
Wonder if the Turks make something similar to Yorkshire puddings?

Imor,
Question.
Could one use soya milk instead of dairy for the liquid?

EBV = Equal By Volume of flour, milk, eggs, makes a very rich batter but it will always rise really well.

Common problem for lots of people Eileen! From the detail that you have provided, my guess would be that your mixture was probably too thick or the flour you used could be old??
Lots of ways and lots of so-called tips for success, however, if you remember to:
1. use very fresh ingredients (plain flour, eggs, cold milk and iced water)
2. keep the mixture very cold until needed
3. mixture just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon
4. heat your fat until it is smoking
5. quickly pour in no more than 2 tablespoons of batter into each muffin tin
5. don't open the oven door until ready
You shouldn't go far wrong.......
PS. try adding a tablespoon or so of finely diced onion to the batter as well. These are an excellent accompaniment to roast chicken!! Yummy!
Hope that puts the rise back in yer puds!
