Not the flour Tricia. My Yorkshire born grandmother, mother (both now deceased) and myself make Yorkshire pudding with Robin Hood flour with great success.

Sorry to read Victor had the worst yorkshire pudding over here, I think it is probably the flour. My late husband loved yorkshire pudding but I could never make them here like I did in England. So now I have resorted to cheating I buy imported from Yorkshire of course frozen ones. My girlfriend from Yorkshire even gave them to her husband he did not seem to notice the difference. Remember years ago we had quite a discussion on this topic. Best regards Tricia Backhouse. P.S. Pls send some of your rain over here we need it. .....

Hi Coral, Who was the cook? Obviously not a Yorkshireman, or certainly didn't learn the art of Yorkshire pud making from his granny! First heat the tins, with a little fat in the bottom of each tin. One egg, four heaped tablespoons of flour (a UK tablespoon is approximately 15 grams, so four heaped would be about 100 grams, but we don't use the scales, so guess), a pinch of salt and enough milk to make it coat the back of the spoon.  Pour batter into hot tins Tips - always use a metal spoon, as a wooden one just doesn't make it right somehow. - always use good beef dripping, not vegetable oil, in the tin - always make sure the fat is smoking hot before pouring the batter in, and get it back into the oven as fast as possible. - never open the oven door until Yorkshire puds are done Some people say use the batter straight away, whilst others say you should leave it to stand (covered) for half an hour. I let mine stand for a while. This is the way my granny used to make them, and they were always good. There are many other recipes, but basically the same. I have a glass door on the front of my oven, just so I can watch the Yorkshire puddings rise! Yorksgen 2012 starts today. Hope we will have some Yorkshire Puddings for supper tonight in York!

A long long time ago, when Yorksgen was only an infant, there commenced a long and detailed discussion of Yorkshire Pudding.  Lots of fun and laughter, loads of recipes, lots of little stories.  Roy objected loudly.  It was war.  I think that was the year Yorksgen died, over Christmas.  Somehow, maybe because of Yorkshire Grit, we managed to pull together and to survive and we're still here.  I have experienced a sea of ancestors due to this list so I'm extremely happy that it survived.   It should be interesting to see what happens next--maybe nothing. (Those recipes and chit chat must be in an archive somewhere but those measurements sound right if you're making those large puddings to put meat or vegetables in.  --I'm not an expert but I asked my dh who went to school in Yorkshire and lived all his life just a few miles from the YKS border.  He says it could be more like 10 eggs if you're making those big ones.) and he says to tell you that came from the 'orses mouth!

Hi, It was supposed to be a poor mans so the family didn't need so much meet.

Could anyone please tell me if there are any rate books or similar records for Bradford for the period of 1935 to 1950, and if so where are they? I am trying to find out who owned 8 Welland Terrace during this time. The reason is to confirm or not whether the Walton family rented it from the Holliday family as suggested by a family story. Thanks Janet Janet Westwell

Hi Andy I'm also on the hunt for Methodist Christenings in Malton. NYCRO holds: Ref: R/I/YCU United Reformed Church/Yorkshire Congregational Union 1855-1904 And Ref: R/I/ML Unitarian Chapel in New Malton 1773-1933 These are paper records in a church book which contains CMB's. Also they have registers for 1829-1967. Also in the Archives Online Catalogue there are Malton Methodist Circuit Records http://archives.northyorks.gov.uk <http://archives.northyorks.gov.uk/DServe/dserve.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqAp p=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=%28%28text%29=%27 malton%20methodist%27%29> I have spoken to them recently. Hope it is helpful for you and best of luck with your research. Regards Pam Smith Harrogate Follow me on Twitter @genejean Anyone know who holds the baptism records of the Malton Methodist Circuit? They are not shown as being held by NYCRO. I suspect they may be in the hands (or safe) of the minister. Anyone trying to view them? Easy? Any charge? I was once quoted ?50 pounds per hour to view the Ramsgill in Nidderdale Baptism Register - needless to say I am still waiting for it to be deposited at NYCRO. It is the original Register that is still in use from the 1840s. Thanks Andy Simpson Middlesbrough

Regards , Derek Whitwam , Lower Hutt > , New Zealand < I once ran against Derek Ibbotson when I was in Longwood Harriers as a lad. It was a 3-mile cross country handicap race and, as far as I recall, I got three minutes start on him and he came past me like a train after about half a mile or so! A couple of years later he broke the world mile record. However, as I have explained in an earlier post, old-time Yorkshiremen and women who are no longer in the public eye don't really meet the criteria that has been laid down for me unless they suddenly become news again for some reason. But thanks for the suggestions, Derek! -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Once again I must thank listers who kindly sent me suggestions for Yorkshire subjects for my "Famous family trees" blog. However, I am sorry but I will not be able to pursue the great majority for reasons I shall explain. It is probably my own fault that I did not sufficiently explain in the first place the criteria and parameters laid out for me by my editor at Findmypast, a lady who knows precisely what she wants which is what all good editors should! The subjects have to be 1) household/big name celebrities; and/or 2) currently in the news for some reason. For example, she wanted my July blog to be on an Olympian with gold medal potential, to tie in with the London Olympics, and Victoria Pendleton was an obvious choice as one of our top track cyclists and the reigning world and Olympic champion. It follows that the great majority of my subjects will be living ones. Out of five blogs I have done to date, the only one who is deceased is Charlie Chaplin - but I chose him because there was a major news story (if a somewhat daft one) in all the papers about records being released from The National Archives which showed that in the 1950s, under the McCarthyite witch hunts of Hollywood stars, the Americans asked MI5 to investigate whether Chaplin had been born a Jew in Paris! Needless to say, they found no evidence, but it interested me sufficiently to look Chaplin and his family up in the censuses. There was an additional element in that I made a discovery I don't think anyone had done before, i.e. that in the censuses of 1871 and 1881 Chaplin's grandfather, Spencer Chaplin, was living in Rillington Place, Notting Hill, only five doors away from the infamous house where in the 1940s the mass murder John Reginald Halliday Christie (who was from Halifax, BTW) killed a number of women. Thus, any famous Yorkshiremen or women I am likely to tackle will normally be living and either in the news or seen regularly on television, which is why I particularly mentioned John Craven (Countryfile presenter), Alan Titchmarsh and Michael Palin. Historical Yorkshire folks, while of great personal interest to me, would normally only qualify if there was some current news story about them that thrust them back into the public eye - if (he said jokingly) records emerged to show that Captain Cook or William Wilberforce were bigamists, that might qualify! <vbg> Several listers have mentioned Eddie Waring. As a rugby league fan, I used to love his "oop and under" style of commentary! However, I doubt he would be sufficiently well known outside Yorkshire or rugby league to be "dug up" and resuscitated. I apologise if I mislead listers by not explaining the parameters properly, but I do thank everyone for their contributions. In any case, I believe it's led to an interesting thread, anyway! -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
