Annie batter

This is the recipe that Annie always uses for making Yorkshire puddings. It is copied from Delia Smith's 'Complete Cookery Course' but with a few changes that over the years have proven to make a perfect batter with a good rise.

In Delia's recipe she says it will serve 4 but I disagree, it serves 2 pigs with a few leftover popovers.

The three main tricks to getting a well risen Yorkshire every time are:

• Whisk by hand, just enough to combine well. Do not use an electric whisk or go mad when hand beating

• Allow the batter to reach room temperature by resting for 30 minutes first. Do not rest in the fridge. This will reduce the rise substantially.

• Oil the popover or Yorkshire pudding tray and heat over a naked flame just before pouring the batter mixture into the tray, then put in the over immediately.
