The lack of decent Yorkshires comes up a bit in my clinic... So here's one that ticks all fhe boxes - dairy free, egg free and gluten-free. I'd love to know if you try it!
โซ๏ธ75g flour (for gluten-free, sub for more chickpea flour)
โซ๏ธ75g chickpea flour
โซ๏ธ1/4 tsp baking powder
โซ๏ธ1/4 tsp tumeric
โซ๏ธ1/4 tsp salt
โซ๏ธ360ml water
โซ๏ธ1/2 tsp mustard
โซ๏ธ3/4 tsp apple c***r vinegar
โซ๏ธ6 tbsp aquafaba
โซ๏ธOil for pan
1. Preheat oven to 200ยฐC fan and place a baking tray on a shelf near the top of the oven to preheat.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the plain flour, chickpea flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
3. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the mustard, apple c***r vinegar, aquafaba and water.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth and bubbly. Transfer the batter to a jug for easier pouring, then leave it to rest while you prepare the tin.
5. Use a metal muffin tin with deep wells. Silicone, ceramic or shallow Yorkshire pudding tins are not suitable for this recipe.
6. Add enough oil to each well to create a depth of around 3โ4mm, swirling it around to coat the sides. Don't reduce the amount of oil, as this can affect the results. Place the oiled muffin tin on the preheated baking tray and return it to the oven for around 10 minutes, until the oil is smoking hot.
7. Working quickly and carefully, remove the baking tray and muffin tin from the oven, closing the oven door immediately to retain the heat. Pour the batter into each well in a thin, steady stream, filling them almost to the top. The oil will rise around the batter, so stop pouring when it reaches close to the rim.
8. Immediately return the muffin tin to the oven, keeping it on the baking tray, and close the door. Do not open the oven door for at least 25 minutes, as this can cause the puddings to collapse.
9. Bake for 30โ40 minutes. For a softer, slightly gooey centre, 30 minutes should be sufficient. For crispier, drier puddings, bake for closer to 40 minutes. If you prefer them even drier, turn the oven down and cook for a little longer.
10. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
