Sykeside 2005 - the wanderers return

Go for it, David. Try 'em both; see which performs best.

 

Hi all

This weekend I will try my Coleman Oven heated by my Primus No 2 (big stove).
I will try to make Yorkshire Puddings.

I will take photographs.
I will use my own recipe and will also use Ian's.

Hopefully everything will go OK.

 

Hey, Lads,

Just one question: Don't the YP's have meat and veggies in them, or am I wrong about that? And, if they do, when do you add them to the mix? Enquiring stomachs want to know!!! Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,

If you're ever in the Dales try the Station Inn at the foot of the Ribblehead Viaduct.

They do the most wonderful enormous Yorkshire Pud with all the fillings - like at Brotherswater but even better in my view.

I think the recipe exchange is wonderful, could we knock up a cook book and sell it to support the site ?

Must go off to see the first series of the Avengers on the telly - wonderful nostalgia

Cheers

Keith

 

No meat or veggies in 'em Doc. They are much like what is sometimes referred to here as a popover. I reckon if you added to them, you'd get something heavier and different.
But fox refers to "all the fillings" so maybe I'm wrong. But the only ones I've had here are flour, egg, and drippings.

 

IIRC Rik had a similar idea some time ago. Perhaps we could make something of it.

Any ideas anyone?

You favourite campstove rcipe / dish?

Hints & tips?

 

Yes and no, Doc. The meat and veg aren't put in the batter mix you just have them with the YPs. In some areas of the country, they have YPs about 9" across which is the size of the plate (in the UK anyway!) so the meat, gravy and vegetables have to go inside. Hereabouts we go for smaller YPs (4" or maybe even 2") and these just sit on the plate with the rest.

Actually, the correct way to have YPs is as a starter. You have them by themselves with a little gravy and maybe some cranberry jelly. I've only ever had them like that once - when I was about 12 and stayed with my aunt, uncle and cousin in the Lake District just a few miles from last weekend's meet, as it happens. I thought my aunt had forgotten to put the rest of my lunch on the plate...

 

Sorry if I've confused the issue.

The YP is a huge one, takes up the whole plate !

Inside are such as onions, potatoes, liver, sausage depending on your choice - it is an awesome meal well recommended, and the ale is not bad either

Oh and according to my Missus you put plain flour in Yorkies !

Cheers

My Dad's side of the family always had small YPs done in bun tins before the main meal with some of the gravy and then had more after the main meal with butter and sugar or jam.
I never really cared for them sweet so always asked for some gravy to be kept for the pudding puddings.

 

It occurred to me on Saturday that but for a door and a top, a No.12 stove more or less comes with its own oven.
This afternoon I cobbled something together; it isn't perfect and I know how to make it better, but it did the job.



We had toad in the hole for tea so I made up a bit extra batter so I could try out the new toy. The result was satisfactory. Not brilliant but by no means a disaster.



It had certainly cooked thru' ok but was a bit overdone on the bottom



The texture was, all in all, pretty reasonable going on good.



The verdict:

 

I read that you got to have a air flow around the pan need side holes side bottom and top then the bottom of pan wont burn to hot take a look at a colemen stove oven.there is a word for it i try and spell its called convection

 

Yes, you're right. The sides are stainless - its a
shitbag to drill, but needs must.

 

Hey, Ian,

Yet another baking success story! You are the man, when it comes to baking, that's for sure! You have certainly been an inspiration to the rest of us, and I may have to give baking a go, too, like David, and Oops. I like the "verdict" part of the photos, too! I Noted the tea container in one photo. What, no milk with baked goods?
Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc Mark
