How to make your own Yorkshire Puddings | Great British Bake Off Technical Challenge explained
This easy recipe will make your Sunday roast!
Four new celebrities made their way into the Bake Off tent today, as the Celebrity Great British Bake Off continued.
For the Technical Challenge, TV presenters Alison Hammond and Alex Jones, YouTuber Joe Sugg and singer/songwriter James Blunt were asked to make 12 mini Yorkshire Puddings, filled with a horseradish sauce and steak filling.
The challenge proved to be quite a success for Alison, who won the judges over with her identical bakes, but sadly the same couldn't be said for Alex and and James, whose bakes were labelled "ridiculous" and "revolting" respectively.
So if you fancy making Yorkshire Puddings and don't want to go wrong (like Alex and James), here's what you need to do...
What are Yorkshire Puddings?
Yorkshire pudding is a common English side dish consisting of a baked pudding made from batter using eggs, flour, and milk or water.
It is a versatile food that can be served in numerous ways depending on the choice of ingredients, the size of the pudding, and the accompanying components of the dish.
Most British families often enjoy a couple on the side of their Sunday roast.
