Home made Yorkshire Puddings

I know Yorkshire puddings aren't the most famous addition to an Irish Sunday roast but a four year stint over in the UK as a student has me craving them every now and again now that I'm back home. Not many people realise that they are so easy to make, so here we go!

You will need

• 4 eggs
• Milk
• All purpose flour
• lard/butter
• A pinch of salt

Set your oven to its highest temperature. Crack your four eggs into a jug and then measure out the exact same amount of milk to eggs. Place in Blender with your salt and blend until smooth. Leave for 10 minutes. Measure out your flour to the same amount of eggs and milk. Sieve into blender and again blend until smooth. No lumps allowed.

Eggs - Milk - Flour

Eggs, Milk and salt

Sieve in flour

Blend till smooth.

Leave for min 30 minutes somewhere cool but not in the fridge. With the rest of the food cooking the kitchen was roastin so I left mine in the sitting room on the fireplace it was a little chilly in there today!

Place a small cube of lard into your tin and place into your VERY HOT oven. Don't let the lard burn to the tin. After you have let your batter to rest for over 30min mix 2 table spoons of cold water into it and them pour your batter into your tins 1/4 way. You will know your Yorkshires are ready when they have risen and turned a golden brown colour.

 ENJOY

We had our yorkshires with carrots, broccoli, green beans, corn on the cob, roast potatoes and roast chicken and a lovely gravy. SO FULL!

Outfit Of The Day

I am wearing

Cardigan from Monsoon, was €99 reduced to €49

Grey tunic from some shop in New York.

Green scarf given to me by my mam who got it off my brother who found it in his house. Nobody claimed it. Washed and Mine.

Home Improvments

Myself and Shane got a few jobs done around the house over the Christmas holidays. Is it just me or is Christmas television getting worse every year? I had asked Santa for a fancy coat rack for Christmas but he told me to "fuck off, there is no room for one" so I had to think of an alternative solution to the pile of coats on the stairs. I didn't take long and soon enough we made our way to Homebase to look for some hooks. See below what we did.

Before

After

I am a happy bunny. The pile of coats aren't going to fall off the stair rail every time we go to get our coats and it has also worked out well for hiding the little door that leads to a million wires under the stairs which make it possible for me to write this blog today.

Let's get spicy

We have been getting into our spices alot lately. The little spice rack I decorated a few months ago can no longer house our collection so we also picked up some larger ones and Shane even tried his hand at decoupaging! He did a great job and it only took him a whole night. I finished mine in under an hour. Just saying.

Someone likes Paprika. ALOT.

This weekend I am planning on dragging himself to a few D.I.Y shops. Would love to get the hallway and kitchen painted before the end of the month and we need curtains for the sitting room. Wish us luck!
