Aunt Bessie's Bake At Home Yorkshire Puddings [@Nli10]

 Our nan needs easy to make versions of the things she loves because she's 99 and lives on her own.  She does have daily visitors, but on a Sunday we go round and make a fuss.  This week I decided to try and make a mini Xmas dinner, but with pulled pork, fries and yorkshire puddings because that's what was in the freezer to use up.



I didn't expect the Yorkies to look like this


Little flat spaceships with oil/butter on the edges to make sure they rise and don't stick, it's basically just disks of batter.



Almost like something Kipling would come up with.

Foolishly I put them in the tray with the fries so they didn't heat evenly and looked a bit disasterous.  I forgot to get a picture of that state - but refer to the box for what the best one looked like, and the rest were deflated

Here is a Heron from her garden as compensation


While the appearance was underbaked, but also simultaneously burnt on the bits that did rise the overal flavour was good.  Suprisingly the oil stayed in the little tins too so they were not too soggy.

Placed in their own tin to the side and done properly these would be grand (a bit hard in nanas oven as she paid a man to clean it professioanlly and he cleaned all the numbers off so you have to guess the temperatures).

With the pulled pork and fries it was a hit and required all concerned to have a snooze afterwards.
