I’m so pleased to meet a true Yorkshireman.More specifically, my sort of Brit as a true Yorkshireman.
Down in southern hemisphere it is pretty hard to make good yorkshire puddings. Substsitute the flour with 'strong flour' and avoid making on humid days. As mentioned, really really hot oil is essential.
Toad in the hole for me has always been sausage and yorkshire pudding. Two variants, either a sausage in each individual 'apple' sized yorkshire pudding, or alternatively a large rectangular yorkshire designed to share with several sauasages in that. But the first is the 'original'.
What is “strong” flour? High gluten?
So humid days are a problem? Any idea how humid? I’m in south Florida. Outside can be 90%, but with air conditioning can get it down to, say, 60%.
Today, in the midst of the cold weather, we even have the heat on which drives it down more.
How hot is hot oil? I thought it was cooked under the lamb while roasting.
