Yorkshire Pudding

The best!

Basically pancake mix:
Plain Flour
Egg
Milk
salt

Last time I added baking powder. They came out fluffy and tall.  Will try again just to make sure wasn't a one time fluke

Mix in blender or whatever thoroughly.
Heat oven to very hot and splash some oil in each cup. Heat the tray with oil inside till smoking.

Take tray out and very quickly pour the batter to fill about a 1/3 full of each cup.
Bake in very hot oven and bake till puffy and golden brown.
Serve with Roast beef and gravy, of-course.
Or for a twist, serve with whipped cream and treacle on top. Divine!

 Garlic studded entrecote, rib-eye roast.   Super soft and moist.
Put in pre-heated oven on high temp, then lower after so 20 mins to 200-ish oC  till done.  (Depends on size of rmeat)
Keep the juices and make the best ever gravy.

Nico's Party Cookies

My son wanted to round some of his friends over for a sleep-over, I figured why not?

What a joy to watch the boys play,talk and bake!
Eating and laughing around the table, interesting to see who enjoyed rolling the cookie dough.
Who chose only heart shapes.
Who chose the smallest shapes to get the most number of cookies!
Others went for the classic respectable gingerman.
Don't ask how many cookies made it home.
