|description=An aide-memoir for Annie so she can make perfect Yorkshire puddings for me (Fanny 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|batter]] with a good rise.

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

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

* Whisk by [[Hand|hand]], just enough to combine well. Do not use an electric whisk or go mad when hand beating

* Allow the [[Batter|batter]] to reach room temperature by resting for 30 minutes first. Do not rest in the [[Fridge|fridge]]. This will reduce the rise substantially.

* [[Oil]] the [[Popover|popover]] or [[Yorkshire pudding tray]] and heat over a naked flame just before pouring the [[Batter|batter]] mixture into the tray, then put in the over immediately.
