As someone who can't cook/won't cook, my first thought was an alarm clock, but somehow it wouldn't be funny. :CompBuster:

[Arthur Little]

Whats wrong with Aunt Bessies?

I had an Aunt Bessie ... my mother's elder sister. The only thing that's "wrong" with her is she's DEAD! :bigcry:

[RickyR]

In Cebu?

Al.:)

I'll be adding Yorkshire Pudding mix to my list of things to bring to Cebu this time!

[Mrs.JMajor]

Thought u heart yourself, where is Hannah ?

[aposhark]

Rochelyn just put Bamii (can't spell this but it is noodles, like pancit canton) into the microwave for 15 minutes.
I smelt a little burning and came down to see her laughing so much when she showed me the brown hard meal.....
Ah, the joys of showing my wife the pleasures of our machines.

I think she thought it would be similar to cooking over the gas flame, time-wise.

"It's a little bit more powerful, dear".
Well, another chance to give her a wee kiss.....

You're not alone Alan. When Keith made Yorkshire, it did not rise either.
I just couldn't tell the difference as I haven't tried and seen one before.

[fred]

We had a full roast last week here in the boondocks..The Yorkshire was so high I couldn't get it out of the oven..Only thing missing was mustard.. what can you do?
You want to get smoke coming off of the oil before you add the mix..

You still coming over Alan?? I`ll give you a call.

[eljean]

hmmm, i do not put yeast on my yorkshire pudding...:BouncyHappy:

you have to put some yeast coz your in the philippines:D

[Alec&Davina]

you have to put some yeast coz your in the philippines:D

I've been making Yorkshire Puddings since I was a lad, but I cant remember using yeast in making it.

can u please explain to me using yeast coz your in the Philippines?what's the difference it makes?

I want to try it if it will make it more tasty..:D

[Alan]

I thought that yeast was for making bread and beer. :Erm:

Al.:)

[aromulus]

you have to put some yeast coz your in the philippines:D

I don't think this is the problem.:NoNo:

Maybe the oven is not hot enough...

Maybe too much oil or fat in the moulds.

Maybe the mix is too thin.

Maybe you just suck at cooking....!!!!:omg:

Another factor could be the flour used.
If it is Filipino flour, the chances are that it will be mixed with banana flour and other stuff.
If it is imported from New Zealand or Oz, you will find that it will not be similar to UK or European flour at all.

How difficult can it be, I get it right by mistake...!!!!:icon_lol:

[maria_and_matt]

you have to put some yeast coz your in the philippines:D

:Erm: i am not in the philippines, i have made yorkshire pudding here and for my family in the philippines i did not put yeast... what is yeast for anyway?

You should be glad it's only your yorkshires that you can't get to rise.

:omg: we are talking about yorkshire puds...

[paulgee]

Well ... plain flour is used for making yorkshire puddings.

But the reason most fail to rise is because the fat is not hot enough. It must be very hot when the batter mixture is added, otherwise your batters are most unlikely to rise up.

Good luck, hopefully one day I will be trying out cooking like that out there!


Cheers Paul
