Yorkshire Pudding with Ice Cream & Golden Syrup
Since 2008 the first Sunday of every February has been designated British Yorkshire Pudding Day and this year falls on 3 February. I have to admit that I mainly make Yorkshire Pudding batter for my Toad in the Hole recipe and tend to chicken out of making actual Yorkshire Puddings. So when Mermaid sent me their 4 Cup Yorkshire Pudding Tray I decided that I wanted to face my culinary fears and do it anyway! I read up on the subject and came up with the following recipe from my research. Being a fan of waffles and ice cream I decided Yorkshire Pudding with Ice Cream & Golden Syrup and jolly delicious it was too!
The Mermaid 4 Hole Yorkshire Pudding tray is made of tough hard anodised aluminium and therefore has great heat distribution properties which is vital for this job! It won’t peel, flake or blister and can be heated on the hob and oven. I’ve said it before, these tins retain their heat long after coming out of the oven unlike flimsy inferior ones so don’t be tempted to pick up with your fingers too soon!
I am entering my puddings into this month’s Credit Crunch Munch which is run by myself and Helen at Fuss Free Flavours and is being hosted my me this month, as they are a really economic and delicious dessert.
I am also entering my Yorkshire Pudding with Ice Cream & Golden Syrup into the “Tea Time Treats” challenge which is run by Karen at Lavender and Lovage and Kate at What Kate Baked who is hosting this month with the theme of puddings!
Start by putting lard in pudding tray and put in oven for 15 minutes.
Sieve the flour & salt and make a well in the centre for the eggs.
Beat the eggs gradually incorporating the flour from the sides.
Then whisk in the milk gradually.
Fill pudding holes with batter and bake immediately.
My 2nd batch worked much better as I only filled holes 3/4 full so fluffed up a lot higher, remember less is more!
Once out of oven serve with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and lashings of golden syrup.

Oh my word, I’m definitely going to try this next time I have Yorkshire puds. It looks so tasty 🙂
Thanks Sharon:-)
Sounds incredibly delicious. Who would have thought that Yorkshire pudding could be used to make such a tasty dessert!
Thanks Martina, it really is lush:-)
I had my first yorkshire Pudding desert at the weekend and was surprisingly pleased
Excellent Ursula:-)
I was quite horrified the other day when my daughter squirted chocolate sauce on her left over yorkshire pudding and tucked in ! My mother told me that lots of people like them with sweet things, not sure I could try it after only ever knowing yorkshire puddings to come with gravy 😀
Just think of them as crispy pancakes – which they are;-)
