Baked Chicken with Yorkshire Pudding And Stuffed Yorkshire Pudding Recipes

"With chicken" you say" but I thought you only had Yorkshires with beef". No, you can have Yorkshire puddings with lots of different things including chicken dinners as you will find on this blog. If you click on the link below you will find a recipe for baked chicken with Yorkshires, but beware... the Yorkshire pudding recipe isn't a traditional British version. I haven't tried making it with 3 eggs to such a small amount of flour and would expect them to turn out heavier than the traditional 1 egg to 4 oz of flour version, but it still sounds good.

Baked Chicken with Yorkshire Pudding

"My grandmother kept all of her recipes in a small yellow recipe box on her counter. Each recipe was handwritten on a single index card. When I put together our family cookbook I spent hours going through those well worn, well loved, spattered and stained cards. Many of the recipes were only outlines with vague references to quantities, approximate baking times and delightful anecdotes about how some friend had told her to do this or that thing, which she never did, and the recipe turned out fine. This particular recipe gave my sister and me hoots of laughter when we first tried to decipher it. ..." http://www.insidethekaganoffkitchen.com/2012/07/02/baked-chicken-with-yorkshire-pudding/
Just to show how versatile Yorkshire puddings are I found this video showing you how to make stuffed Yorkshire puddings which are perfect for buffets at parties. Do you use Yokshires as finger food? Let us know what you do with them.

Mini Yorkshire Puddings with Rare Roast Beef

These canapes look really good but 3 eggs!! Usually use one egg for that amount of flourand would have thought that more eggs would make Yorkshire puddings heavier.

Doddy makes Yorkshire Puddings

I enjoyed watching this video. It doesn't include a recipe, but you can find my traditional Yorkshire pudding recipe if you click here. It looks as if this is a Yorkshireman visiting the USA and making some Yorkshires
for his friend.
 

Mums recipe! Video Rating: 3 / 5 Ok the quality wasn't brilliant but watching it made me smile. It was good for a first attempt, but what happened to the 4 that didn't rise, did you see them? My guess is too much fat in those tins. I would also be wary of opening the oven too soon, he was lucky that any stayed risen after that 10 minute check, but well done Doddy anyway, you can be this week's ambassador for Yorkshire puds.

Why You Should Make Yorkshire Pudding To Serve With Your Christmas Dinner

It seems to be a matter of great debate; minds accomplished with glorious recipes have contemplated and ruminated over this serious but delicious question. It seems to come as an issue between the traditional and taste over which there isn’t any real argument. The tasteful answer it seems is that you should make Yorkshire Pudding with your Christmas dinner to round off your perfect festive feast. In fact, if you have never done it yet, then your Christmases have probably all been completely lacking without the perfect pudding that was the result of years of Yorkshire research. Whether your potato is voluptuously solid or a velvety mashed, whether your gravy is moisturisingly thin or supportingly thick, whatever your condiments and contents, the Yorkshire Pudding will definitely give it that crispy edge before you pull your crackers.

There is a contingency of chefs who think that Yorkshire Puddings are strictly for beef dishes. Admittedly when it comes to that tasty crunch the Yorkshire Pudding does enhance the meat and gravy to an almost perfectly beefy roast but this is a serious handicap of thinking. How could you restrict the Yorkshire Pudding to a single meat dish? My grandmother made one dish with sweet Yorkshire Puddings containing Apple Sauce that set off the pork dish to perfection. We even used to sneak in before the places were set and these sweet puddings were swiftly set upon before they had chance of being served. Even if you say the glorious Yorkshire Pudding be restricted to all roast dinners you do your taste buds an injustice, think of adding a little jam to them. Look around for masters of these culinary arts and you will find some beautiful and downright tasty ways these puddings are used. There is a Yorkshire pudding recipe for all kinds of meals, but often the standard pudding is used throughout, it is really how you mix the tastes that give them their value in the dish.

So back to the question, why should you make Yorkshire Pudding to serve with your Christmas dinner, the answer is that all your meat and vegetables will look incomplete, possibly indecently naked, without it. It would be totally unimaginable not to have a Yorkshire pudding or two dressing your Christmas dish. To some traditionalists the Yorkshire pudding has always been used on all roast dishes like the Christmas dinner, whether it is Turkey or Goose.

Sweet And Savoury Yorkshire Pudding Recipe Ideas



That photo was taken at the Dough Bistro in Leeds for their Yorkshire Day tasting menu. The delicious looking treat is a Yorkshire pudding stuffed with cream custard, home-grown blackcurrant & Leeds sparkling wine compote, whipped cream and chocolate crisp. Wow that not only looks good it sounds good too. I would be very happy to b served that dish for sure. Until a few years ago using Yorkshire puddings as a dessert or pudding would have seemed alien to me, but since starting this site I've come across all sorts of different uses of the Yorkshire pudding batter mix. As the basic recipe is the same for pancakes I guess making Yorkshire pud desserts isn't such a big stretch.

Sweet Recipe

Cherry Yorkshire pudding sounds delicious and something I must try soon. I found the recipe for it on another website and following you will find the link to the tasty dessert.

Cherry Yorkshire pudding

"Yorkshire puddings – so I've heard but never actually witnessed – often get dished up as a dessert up North. Well, our native Yorkshire pudding is a kind of clafoutis, I suppose, so why not serve it as a dessert? When cherries aren't in season, try ..." http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/recipes/cherry-yorkshire-pudding-8215529.html
I also saw somebody on the Internet recommending Yorkshire pudding with cream and golden syrup. There was a very unnapetising picture with the article of one big square Yorkshire with a pile of thick cream laced with syrup. It looked a bit sickly to me, but whatever floats your boat.
In my area of Yorkshire golden syrup on pancakes is just as popular as lemon if not more, but to me adding cream would be too much, but vanilla ice cream might work.

Savoury Recipe

I also came across a really tasty looking savoury Yorkshire pudding recipe and that was at the following website.

Mini Yorkshire puddings with sausages and roast shallot gravy recipe

"Party-sized nibbles, filled with sausage and a little Tenderstem broccoli tree. Be sure to make the gravy, too!www.lovefood.com/.../mini-yorkshire-puddings-with-sausages..." http://www.lovefood.com/guide/recipes/17914/mini-yorkshire-puddings-with-sausages-and-roast-shallot-gravy-recipe
