My Yorkshire Puddings

[PeteXXX]

OK...... Normally my yorkies rise nicely and would grace the plate of a king. Occasionaly they puff up so well that they threaten the integrity of the oven door!!
The last two times I've felt like offering them to the local ice hockey teams as emergency pucks..

Same recipe, same oil, same oven, same temperature same everything, yada yada yada.

What's going on?? (No pictures to save my embarrassment)

Your not in Yorkshire.

 

[ianrauk]

Is the fat hot enough?
Have you opened the oven whilst they are cooking/rising?

It could be the flour. Flour is not always the same. There can be big differances, especially in the age of the flour. The fresher the better, but old flour degrades.

 

[PeteXXX]

In order..No, yes, no, same flour as usual..

 

[babytiger]

What eggs are you using ? ,Pete finds certain eggs make his Yorkshires flat as pancakes

 

[welsh dragon]

When you say same flour is that flour from the same pack or same brand of flour

 

[PeteXXX]

Plain flour from Sainsburys, new bag. Same type of eggs from Tesco via a chicken..

Left field idea, has the seal gone on the oven door

 

[welsh dragon]

So not the same flour. Could be a totally different batch from a different source.

Seal tastes like chicken.
