Gardengirl Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Just had an email and calls to all our phones (4!) from an English friend who has promised Yorkshire pudding to a French friend for lunch today! She and I only have self-raising; I don't bake much here at all.Am I right that T55 is going to be right, please? She's just about to dash to Carrefour City for some.

idun Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Even on bags of plain flour in France, it sometimes says it's for cakes and it is as everyone I knew always used it and a sachet of baking powder for their cakes. Your friend is right you don't use SR flour for yorkshire puddings, it will change the consistency of the mix. Still everyone likes them differently and in yorkshire every household has it's own recipe.So 45 or 55 are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thanks for the replies; glad that the T55 I suggested would be OK. I expect I'll hear later how the Yorkshire puds turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanS Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The last time I made Yorkshire puddings with T45 - they came out like cakes - the same happened with T55 - so I gave up.Will make sure I bring a stock of plain flour when I return to France next year.

bubbles Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 If it makes anyone feel any better I have never had any success with yorkshire puddings in any country whatever flour I have used. Have now given up - on the rare occasions that I cook a roast dinner I buy a little packet of infallible readymix for around 15p.My theory is that at a certain age one should just not bother persevering with things that one is just not very good at!!

Rabbie Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I hope your friend's yorkshire puddings were successful unlike the ones I heard about where the french guest tried a small piece and then exclaimed "Mon Dieu! C'est plastique![:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
