Home of the Yorkshire Pudding! Happy National Yorkshire Pudding Day
Swipe for Head Chef Marlon`s recipe
Very important to let your mixture rest, so that the gluten relaxes and starch breaks down, resulting in a more stable structure and better flavour
You want to cook with very hot oil as prevents your mix from sticking to the tin and helps with the rise
Using equal volumes will help you achieve the perfect consistency more reliably
Don`t peek when they`re baking! You`ll risk deflating them
Tacos for before the mains.
Roasted red pepper, goats cheese, olive
Salted cod, tomato, preserved lemon
Beef fillet tartare, chives, shallots, cornichons, onions
