BATTERS With a good Yorkshire Pudding batter—which is the same thing as a Pancake batter—we have the foundation of any number of dishes, savoury and sweet, from the humble Toad-in-the-Hole to the aristocratic Crepes Suzette. One of the secrets of good Yorkshire Puddings and Pancakes is to make the batter thin enough. It is also a good idea to make it as long as two hours before it is required because the waiting helps to swell the starch granules in the flour, though this may not be so necessary when one uses Albatross Self-raising Flour. When making Yorkshire Pudding, do have the fat in the roasting tin very hot. (Several minutes in a hot oven will suffice). Pour in the batter and get it into the oven at once. Never let a Yorkshire Pudding wait for you. It should be taken to table and eaten the moment it is cooked. YORKSHIRE PUDDING 4 oz.
