James' Yorkshire Pudding recipe is legendary! Good quality ingredients are essential, try and buy the best flour that you can. When you cook the Yorkshire's ensure they are the only thing in the oven as the temperature needs to be hot to cook them properly!

Ingredients

For the Yorkshire Puddings:
  • 200g /8oz flour
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 pint milk, full fat
  • 8 tsp dripping , duck fat or goose fat
For the gravy:
  • 3 onions, peeled and sliced
  • 25g butter
  • 100ml madeira
  • 25ml sherry
  • 500ml veal jus
  • 50ml red wine

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Whisk all the ingredients for the Yorkshire puddings together in a bowl.

Cover and allow to rest in the fridge overnight.

Put the dripping into pudding moulds and put in the oven until smoking hot.

Ladle the mix into the trays or pour from a jug and cook for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes open the oven door for a couple of seconds to allow the steam in the oven to escape. Reduce the oven temperature to 200ºC and continue cooking for 5–10 minutes more until the Yorkshire puddings are crisp and golden.

For the sauce: melt the butter in a pan over a low heat and cook out the onions until deeply coloured.

Add the madeira wine, sherry and stock into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce by half and serve with the Yorkshire puddings.
