Stashe's Simple Recipes: WHOLEMEAL YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS

With a Twist or How to Make a Sunday Roast Favourite with Wholemeal Flour




It's getting harder and harder to find plain flour in the markets these days now that everyone has got the homemaking bug out of necessity. (The sell by date on commercial loaves kind makes them a counter-intuitive purchase in today's climate.) But we decided that we'd make a beef roast tonight that will translate into three more meals into the week. And no self-respecting Brit would feign to eat a Sunday roast without Yorkshire puds.

Actually these lovely nests for gravy are also ideal for serving up curry if you run out of rice. They make great boats on which to float a stew or sautéed mushrooms. In short, Yorkshire puddings are great to eat on any and every occasion you can imagine.

This version uses wholemeal flour because we ran out of plain flour and not likely to get any for another month at the rate things are going. Still didn't stop us.

100 gr (3.5 dry oz.) wholemeal flour (whole wheat flour)
2 pinches of salt
3 large eggs
8 fl. oz. (225 ml) whole milk

Place the flour and salt in a bowl. Add eggs and milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. (We use a hand blender to make this super smooth.) Pour into a jug and chill in the fridge for a few minutes.

In the meantime, pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil or melted beef dripping into each of the cups in a 12-cup muffin tin or 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a roasting tin. Place the tin in a 200° (400°F) pre-heated oven for 5 minutes.

Pull the tin out CAREFULLY and pour the batter about half full into each cup or into the tin. Place back into the over and bake for 20-25 minutes. Bake for 30-35 minutes if you use a roasting tin.

You'll know they are done when they turn golden brown and are risen out of the cups.

Serve immediately.

  1. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I wanted to cook wholemeal Yorkshires and your recipe worked perfectly. They were delicious and tasted just like ones made with plain white flour but were much healthier!
