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!

He used 8 eggs and one pint of milk, them  cooked them in four muffin tins.  I know that it is over forty years since I left Yorkshire but 8 eggs? ****************************************
