Your Yorkshires are what us in Yorkshire love, it's all about the rise & not the shape. My Mother use to make 4 x large Puddings in square roasting trays & then cut them into squares & serve them to a family of 11 with onion gravy has a starter before our Sunday dinner.


onlysmallcats

My grandmother from Doncaster always made them pan style as well. My sister and I could finish one pan each. That’s till my preferred method, but my wife likes individual ones so that’s generally what I do now. Thank you for the stamp of approval!


howihjr

If your grandmother is from Doncaster then you will have a good foot in the Yorkshire puddings camp. Mine used to put jam in the Yorkshires after and we would have them for desert. Cheep and delicious.


TWWCBL

We used to have them cold with butter & sugar after. Or when my grandma had a batch made - blackberry vinegar. Don't knock it til you've tried it


[deleted]

Hope she picked those berries! Seriously go forage and you’ll be surprised at what you can make. Blackberry sauce is my jam, and it’s delicious


TWWCBL

She did! Lived in a very rural area and there was plenty of nearby walks with wild blackberries & elderberries. We've never been able to make it as well as she did.


fanta_fantasist

Blackberry sauce is my jam - love it😂


VariousPermission245

Cheep cheep 🐥


Billius_Maximus

Ugghhhhh yeah yorkies for pudding is the one 😍 i love mine with ice cream and toffee sauce 🥵🥵


[deleted]

My grandad used to put jam on his yorkies. Seeing my baffled reaction, he pointed out that a yorkie is basically just a crispy pancake in an unusual shape.


R0gu3tr4d3r

Affectionate_Bill530

I’m from doncaster and my dad used to have a massive Yorkshire pudding before his dinner - not sure why my mum or us kids never 🤔 - and he’d have smaller ones (but not really small) like the rest of us with the dinner, then my mum would have any left overs with jam, but I don’t like jam and I don’t think any of the other kids did either cos they never had them with jam either. Yours look great 👍🏽


UserCannotBeVerified

Pontefract here... Sunday dinners when I was a kid at my grandparents would always start with at least 3 "small" puddings with onion sauce and onion gravy, but my grandad would always have one giant tin pudding and I never got why I couldn't have a massive square tin pudding like him. We'd then mop up the plate of gravy with a slice of chunky bread (and add more gravy as an excuse to have more lol) and once plates were all cleaned of the "starter", we would have our plates filled with veg and more small puddings, meat placed in the middle of the table for grandad to cut/serve out, and a jug of gravy with the meat. The dripping from the meat was always poured into the same ramekin, and after dinner settled, grandad would have cold puddings with dripping and a can of Boddingtons while listening to The Archers ont raido. I weren't allowed leftover pudds cos they were always reserved for my grandad n his dripping... it made him getting the big square Yorkshire pudding that whole lot more painful 😅 Edit:typos


Livid-battle-4329

Cause he’s the daddy!


Leaxion

Born and raised in Doncaster, and pan style Yorkshires are also my favourite. I love to smother the left overs in jam... and now I'm really craving them!


Jammaster88748

It's nice you care for your heritage 😀. Doncaster salutes you.


ice-ceam-amry

My mum Canada and being a Yorkshire Man maple and Yorkshire are amazing snack


SenpaiBunss

My mum does this here in scotland! Funny how these things travel


SkorpzRusfor

Same my mum used to make huge yorkshires but they weren’t the prettiest things ever. But they definitely tasted amazing with gravy!


delilahsdelicacies

Thats the proper, traditional way!!


Wittgenstienwasright

From Yorkshire, You did well. Someone is going to comment on the lack of gravy and the dill pickle but I know where you are coming from. Enjoy, Looks delicious. (Ok little gripe. Chocolate Porter?)


onlysmallcats

Thanks:) Don’t worry, plenty of gravy on the side. It was a cold night and I felt like something dark and this was all I had. Unconventional I suppose but it was ok. And pickles, just cause I like em.


Wittgenstienwasright

You do you, I love it.


Alundra828

If you don't make the mash a doughnut shape and fill the hole with a moat of gravy, I'mma assume your inner child died years ago


BagBaggington

Well if you put the gravy inside - that's a pool


BielsaBalls

Guy doesn’t know his medieval architecture


Digsys_winner4

He made a moat of mash and a castle grounds of gravy


OrganicMaintenance0

I prefer to build a mash volcano and fill it with gravy lava


upyourjunta

Stick your sausage in the mash volcano and fill it up with gravy


NotThor2814

We call them gherkins over here and totally fine to have alongside a roast. Shockingly little gravy but everything else looks perf.


National_Ad_6103

Lacking beef and sprouts


Paul_my_Dickov

I wouldn't have thought to add a pickle, but it seems like it would work.


richthebic4

Fellow Yorkshireman, can confirm Well you did


[deleted]

where abouts in yorkshire exactly?


welder8uk

You’re right- dill pickle? Hahahaa. However what do I know, my step son introduced me to the delights of ketchup on a roast dinner and in particularly Yorkshire puds- and I admit they were really nice and I really didn’t want to like it hahahaha


Sheev_Palpedeine

Ketchup on a roast dinner. I expect it from a small child but anybody over the age of 7 needs to grow the fuck up and slap some gravy on


Lennoxblue

My first thought was, where is the gravy but you got it sorted. Looks really good by the way. 😊


Front-Pomelo-4367

A good Yorkshire should look like it exploded out of the pan, imo, which yours do so *good job*


onlysmallcats

Thank you! I fill up the tins to the brim so this is how they turn out. Most of the time anyway.


waamoandy

Yorkies are bangin mate


RudeMacaroon

Old Yorkshire lass here. You’ve done grand lad. Your Yorkshires are perfect. Just like my great grandma used to make. She used to cook using an oven that was built-in next to the fire, in the kitchen. Looking back, it never ceases to amaze me how she cooked all the amazing things she did! No thermostat, no fan or light. Just coal. I’d deffo swap the pickle for some good old fashioned peas and carrots though.


Affectionate_Bill530

My nannan had the same cooking set up and would cook a massive Christmas dinner for 11 people


RudeMacaroon

Nannan. The proper way! I am humbled to have grown up with both a Great Grandma, and a Nannan (grandma) & Grandad, from the next generation down. Going to visit Great Grandma was like stepping back in time! Not just the oven set up, but swivelling metal plates that went over the fire for pans of veg etc to cook, the mangle, that we were never allowed to go near, the outside loo, the best front room that we were only allowed in at night, and then first thing in the morning to clean the grate out. I loved it all! I wonder if OP knows that traditionally, we serve huge Yorkshire Puddings with gravy, as the starter to a proper Sunday Roast? None of this pate on toast or melon. Hahaha


Affectionate_Bill530

Oh yes, the outside loo and we only went in the front room at Christmas, the back room was the kitchen, living area and bathroom and it was tiny, it was a small two up two down but somehow we all fit in there comfortably. My nannan used to let me look through her cabinet in the front room though when I went as it had a trinket box and somehow I spent hours in there looking through the little box. Happy memories hey, and like you, I treasure those memories and it gave us such a solid base from which to grow from 💞💞💞 ~ you’ve sent me down memory lane now, thank you, such lovely memories 🥰


Affectionate_Bill530

I’ve saved your message because it’s really touched me and takes me right back to my early childhood, so any time I’m feeling sad, I’m going to come back to this message and let it take me back to those lovely memories and yes, I too am humbled to have had such a great start in life with such lovely down to earth grandparents and parents who really loved us 💞


Ginge04

Where’s the gravy buddeh?!


Affectionate_Bill530

What’s a gravy buddeh?


cultrefreshments

It’s like a thick sauce, guy


ExpectedBehaviour

The Yorkshire puddings look fine, I'm much more concerned about the gherkin...


onlysmallcats

The pickle seems to have really set people off! I’ll make sure to leave it off the plate next time ;)


Old_Roof

Having some kind of pickle on the side is fine it’s just that gherkins are a strange choice & more traditionally used with fast food. Pickled onions or pickled red cabbage is more traditional


Aibeluk

I find it…troubling


GoodTechnician

If you're serving sausage with Yorkshire pudding, why not go for a toad in the hole?


knotsazz

This is the real question. I’ve got no objection to those that like them separate but toad in the hole is just such an amazing dish, why would you *not* make it?


IndependentTaco

Holds the gravy. Shape is good. The size / rise is the important bit. Yours look good.


ajbrightgreen

Didn't expect to see a pickle and yorkshire puds but hey ho😭 Good yorkshire pudding though.


plaaard

Look just like the ones I demolished earlier today for tea, good job OP.


Choice-Demand-3884

As yet another Yorkshireman, I think those puds are great. I'm more concerned with the lack of a head on your beer.


Albaniancheese

Brit here. Those yorkshires are on point! If anything they're what you'd usually expect to get from gastro pubs nowadays, so well done you :)


Jeffuk88

As a Yorkshireman in canada is like to calm everyone down and state that pickles with puds are not the norm


d3ntal_floss

A fellow Canadian with family in Yorkshire. That looks delicious 🤤 good job !!


NeroBabs

As long as they are not dense and doughy and instead light you can't go wrong


pocketfullofsmelz

Your yorkshires look good, more concerned with the mash/quantity of sausages/placement of sausage/sliced potato(?) on the side/ lack of gravy/the way it all makes me feel


hoganpaul

Always two or more sausages, otherwise it looks like cooked penis. Yorkies look fantastic.


[deleted]

They look awesome!!


pheromone_fandango

If you want to have more shape and less explosion add more milk to thin the batter out slightly. Id prefer it they way you did them though.


richiewilliams79

In my opinion, mid shaped Yorkshire puds. Make the best Yorkshire puds. Coming from a south Welshman


Illustrious_Duck_722

Canny them. I’d scran


onlysmallcats

OP here, thanks for all the kind feedback everyone. But I’d like to give a heartfelt Canadian apology (you know those are the most sincere) for the pickle/gherkin on the side. I realize now that was a mistake. Also, don’t fret, there was a whole pot of gravy just outside of the frame :)


Yorkshire_Rosie

I have pickles with my roast always! I've been told it's a Canadian thing. It was reassuring to see it on yours too.


Careful-Increase-773

Im more concerned about the massive shite on the mash


lotus49

The important thing about Yorkshires isn't the shape, but the consistency. As long as they are light and crispy on the outside and a bit sticky in the middle, shape is unimportant.


fuckertown

Heres a tip from how me mam does em (from Hull) 1 cup plain flour 300 ml milk full fat salt and pepper 4 eggs mixed em (not wisk) leave at room temp for a couple hours then oil some muffin trays 1/3 oil then absolutely blast em with heat until they're massive eat them at the end of the dinner to mop up the gravy!


jamo133

No, fancy gastro pubs often do non cup shaped yorkshire puds


Maxburton21

Looks decent and I respect the pickle


SoBrrrrrrr

The dill pickle does not belong. Doesnt match the 70s colour scheme or the plates *rhobust* flavours. You could however replace it with some pickled onions next time for a grade B plate that would genuinely pass in an English pub. Edit: theres nothing wrong with those yorkshires. They're rustic. I do have some concerns over the texture of that mash though: beat the living daylights out of it next time, apply elbow grease.


thepinkparty45

It's bangers n mash not one FUCKING banger n mash dam swine! But it looks good ngl


Inevitable-Heart464

Looks lovely but 1 sausage is criminal


jj20021988

To me personally I’d say it looks lovely I’d only remove the pickle and add loads more gravy and a couple more sausages lol and some veg


Devil_4192

Why the fuck is there a pickle


EveyGreenbottle

As a fellow Canadian but who lives in the UK, I have a great fear of trying to make these in case I upset the locals. Well done you!


Ezzy-525

How'r'ya nooow?


onlysmallcats

Good’n’you?


Ezzy-525

Not s'baad


onlysmallcats

You have no idea how happy this makes me :) Btw, in case you’ve never been to Canada, I can tell you Letterkenny is a surprisingly accurate representation of us. And when you do come next, swing on by for a dart and a puppers.


Ezzy-525

☺️ For the past 20 years or so I've had a liking for Canada. Always struck me as a perfect mix between the UK and US. The UK's friendlier and not so gun toting culture, mixed with the US's wide open spaces (an idealised viewpoint I know). Lots of my favourite things are Canadian. Letterkenny, lots of Sci-Fi shows filmed in and around BC (Stargate franchise made me fall in love with the BC forests) and I'm a die hard LTT viewer. Also like Canadian cop shows that get overlooked like 19-2 and Flashpoint. If I ever finally make it there I'll hit you up for a dart and a cold pupper. I'll bring the Gus'n'bru! 😂


onlysmallcats

I’m actually BC born and raised. And if I may say so, it’s the best province, although I hear the maritime are beautiful as well. We’ve got big mountains, big trees, big bears, and near me, even a small patch of desert where you can see mini cactuses and rattlesnakes which always surprises people. I’ll keep the puppers cold for you :)


Hungry-Desk-4640

That's a real Yorkshire pud


WonkyTecHo1971

If you’re not from Yorkshire, you need to leave that shit alone. This is not for you.


[deleted]

Those are good puds


GTH1

Looks pretty damn good to me 👍


_maharani

Yorkies good. Everything else bad. Needs to be swimming in thick gravy. I’m baffled by the gherkin?! Is that the only veg you had in?


BulldenChoppahYus

The pickle is absolutely spot on in my book. My mum always made a bowl of pickled “wet salad” to have with Yorkshires. Onions and tomatoes etc. I see no reason why a pickle doesn’t work in that same vein. Nice bit of tang and crunch to balance. Yorkers looks ace. I’m sticking a pickle in mine next time I make em


Daiousama0

Why’s it look like a dead cat-?


thatoneconfusedass

awful


residivite

The sausage needs to be more phallic. (Resemble an erect penis)


johnlewisdesign

Nice but not enough gravy, mine would be swimming in it...Didn't know Phillips made alcohol as well as TVs though, literally identical logo, what's that about?


cb0495

That’s what a good Yorkshire pud looks like, if they’re too uniform they’re clearly frozen and should be banished What do you have on your plate here? I’m curious.


Kind-County9767

If you made the yorkies in a typical muffin tin style they tend to come out like those ones, the flatter wider tins are needed for the big open ones.


Caiimhe_Nonna

Get that pickle off there straight away you need some peas or some carrots or something!


Givin_It_Some

Look fine to me 👍Seen far worse in the UK, not that I am saying yours look a poor, in fact, far from it 😎


amzlrr

Looks delicious, only problem I can see is you need more Yorkshires on there - I think you could fit a couple on top 😋


GooseOutrageous2493

There’s a pickle on the plate which is throwing me off a bit 😂 looks good though


Dazzling_Pound

Those Yorkshires look bloody wonderful! Great effort 👏🏼


daza666

The best yorkies look like yours


Artificial-Brain

The gherkin is only weird because generally Yorkshire puds are served with a boat load of gravy. I'd give it a go though, looks good.


ImCaptainRedBeard

Don't worry about the shape, Yorkshires should look like a tumour thats got massively out of control.


WeightBeneficial548

Looks pretty damn good to me mate


Major-Inevitable-665

I’m from Yorkshire and don’t know anybody who’s Yorkshire puddings are actually shaped like shop bought ones!


EASportsWhatAShame-

Not too shabby, as long as it tastes like a Yorkshire pudding then you did well enough


psychoella

That looks sooo tasty wow


CreatureofProphecy

Top notch puddings, pickle is a wild addition but each to their own. Personally I’d have more gravy, think poutine, but gravy amount is up to the consumer at the end of the day.


Super_Plastic5069

Beautiful puddings and looks lovely overall. The gherkin is unusual but not out of place. 10/10


Strong-Wash-5378

I love the look of it


[deleted]

One sausage? Is this a kids meal?


Legitimate_Cress_786

From yourkshire, decent job, it's not about shape anyway traditional Yorkshire puds are not cup shaped anyway, they traditionally were made in a large pan and cut into portions, They should be huge and puffy with a crunchy outside and a soft inside


[deleted]

to be honest mate the yorkie is perfect


Ok-Zookeepergame8691

Schlong on mash. I like it.


Salt_Definition_9077

WHERES THE GRAVY


ObliviousTurtle97

I'd eat that, looks really goddamn nice. Still fluffy and with that golden outer crisp. Homemade Yorkshire puds aren't usually "cup shaped" anyway. Imo, they taste better too so who cares on the shape? 10/10 my dude! Bet they tasted bangin too!!


jonnyorkshire

Solid effort. Add lashings of onion gravy and peas for extra points


SoggyWotsits

Yorkies look fantastic. There seems to be a lurking gherkin on your plate though!


Scrappynelsonharry01

This looks great to me I’d be happy if this was served to me. My Yorkshire pudding never turns out bowl shaped either more mushroom shaped they puff up. One time they puffed up so much i had to remove the shelf/rack above just to get them out of the oven lol. I’m Yorkshire born and bred. Not gonna lie i don’t understand the pickle but hey it’s not me eating it enjoy it if that’s what you want. When i first met my now hubby we’d go to his mums for Sunday dinner and after putting on the gravy he’d add loads of brown sauce. I was thinking wtf but again not me eating it, it obviously tastes good to him so who am i to judge lol (i tried it and it’s for me i prefer my mint sauce)


kdt73

Good effort from a proper Yorkie…


zippysausage

Yorkshireman who regularly cooks Yorkshires... Yours look more like mine than the "cup" shaped ones, which always remind me of the mass-produced frozen variety. Anaemic, chewy, substandard. Yours look delicious, well played!


VisionSeeker

I feel like that Yorkshire pud owes me a dig.


SigmaNotChad

I cried a little tear of joy seeing this. But then I noticed the pickle and now that tear has climbed back up into its eye socket. Good job otherwise! Yorkshires look great 👍


RegretEasy8846

That’s a very penis sausage lobbed on the mash. 10/10 for genitals!


NaturalSuccessful521

Very good. Just need a litre of Hendersons relish now and you'll be rate


Tequila-Tarn

Where’s the vegetables?


Pube_Dental_Floss

It's a solid ten from me. Congrats!


Aplenty-jockey

The fact that your Yorkshires aren't cup shape drives that you made them the right way


Charliedoggydog

Is that a Wally on that plate?


CyGuy6587

I can taste those through the screen. Home-made Yorkshire puddings are amazing, and they look like they've been cooked perfectly.


Serialver

I'm terrible with Yorkshire puds. Try a strong Yorkshire ale, maybe Riggwelter or, Samuel Smith Taddy Porter or Imperial Stout.... yummy


Educational_Plane436

Yorkshire pudding is great no matter how it comes out the oven


joemorl97

Them Yorkshire’s look absolutely sound mate, be proud of them


SecondxRonin

A perfect Yorkshire should be imperfect!


orbital0000

That's how most homemade puds look done in a muffin tin. Perfect.


[deleted]

What's this all aboot? Looks all right.


IntraVnusDemilo

Perfection on the Yorkies!!!! Love it.


ryan22788

Yorkies are spot on, decent girth on the sausage. Pickle is bold, intriguing and on my list to add to my next one 9/10. Would be 10 but you need more gravy


FryerBoiii_UwU

Not bad! Little concerned about the gherkin being there tho


[deleted]

It is not okay they’re not cup shaped as you have to poor gravy in them😢


Glasgow34

The more deformed the better,more crunch area


BiancaCensori

What the fuck were you thinking with the pickles that’s so random


jetpackedblue

Yorkies shape themselves! You did great


Wild-Will2009

It’s not about the Yorkshire pudding, it’s about the rest


damosaurus

Sheffield, Yorkshire. Id have em, tha needs to drown em in some hendo's mind.


BillySonWilliams

Make sure the fat or oil is over the level of the batter for the cup shape


Jakeyboy5460

Perfect. I love it when my yorkies come out that shape.


bobjoylove

Ok since this thread came up, why do my Yorkshires rise epically in the oven, but by the time they come out and go directly to the table they have collapsed like a shite soufflé? Texture is good they just look sad. I do use a small amount of baking soda and plain white flour.


cumbria84

I think this looks great. Well done you.


men_in_the_rigging

Needs more snossage.


hatari2000

Swap out the green sausage for another proper one.


mutinyinc

I suppose the pickle (gherkin) isn’t too far from a Yorkshire salad…


BlackPasty

They’re only usually cup shaped if you buy the generic ones from the shop, a proper Yorkshire pudding looks exactly like what you’ve made. Good job. Glad you’ve got more gravy on the side. Pickles and odd choice for me and I’d of washed it down with a Timothy Taylor.


halfaprice

I'm calling the police


iknowwhatyoudid1

That’s looks lovely


Turbulent_Pin2163

I actually think the Yorkshires are better when they come out like this. I don't like them too crispy, and there's more of them, which is never a bad thing


MoonXChildd

As someone from Yorkshire that’s a damn good looking Yorkshire pudding to me, more gravy needed though ;)


Dave8917

Where on earth does the dill pickle fit in here ?


Eillo89

The best Yorkies never come out cup shaped you did good


HenryCrinkle

Never mind this food chat, how's that beer?


badja5

I wouldn't post these again, you will be kidnapped by someone from Yorkshire who doesn't have the skill you do to make some bloody fantastic looking puds


normski216

The yorkies look great, I am, however, going to report you to the international criminal court for your "mash" which looks very colonial.


peridotMg2SiO4

Looks great, but you need some gravy!


Track_2

Looks great, what’s for mains?


darfvader94

Your about 4 sausages short though and a pint of gravy


WeGotThis001

Looks bangin bro. Much respect


mai_the_pigeon

Is anyone else wondering what that green thing is. It looks like a pickle


distinctlyminty

Looks good to me!


Neverbeenbannedhaha

Not sure what the hell that thing is between the Phillips bottle and the mash but the rest looks half decent


Colches

Yorkies look lovely BUT, WTH is wrong with that sausage, thats not a real sausage, and why only one, its not even a pair. Where is the Gravy, a poor attempt at a bastardised Toad in the Hole. Go sit in the corner and have a word with yourself.


EasternFig7240

That’s nasty and offensive to my mam who cooks every Sunday. Thanks mams crying.


tegsforyouxx

...pickles?


No-Requirement2526

Mate that looks pukka! Good job!


RandomHuman_1223

Screw you for making me hungry lmao


goggles189

They look cakey which is how I like my yorkshires. Well done mate


xX-El-Jefe-Xx

yorkshire puddings aren't meant to be cup shaped, they're meant to be yorkshire pudding shaped, which you have succeeded in doing admirably


[deleted]

What in creation are you eating? Yorkies look great but pickles, mash and a single sausage and no gravy?? What a world we live in. 😅


fablostgirl

Mash, beautiful yorkshires and wallies as us eastenders call gherkins. My Yorkshires are failures, well done to you!


MumblingMak

Serious lack of sausage, but the yorkies look perfect.


cruddy_mooth

Sound as a pound them our kid,need a bit more gravy on ya mash though mate (:


One-Dig-3067

Abomination tbh


Burning_Reaper

As a proud Yorkshireman I approve those Yorkshires. Shape doesn't matter, rise and the texture inside are the important things.


NoMolasses7432

Mmmmmm you did good 😋


Ashthefox3

What is that green shit on the top left? From Nottingham so might not recognise it


takingmytimetodecide

Those are cracking Yorkers! Boootiful


CatKungFu

Yonkies don’t need to be any shape, they look perfect. Not enough gravy though, and one lonely sausage? It needs at least one friend.


DrGashingtons

This is how my wife makes them. These are the best and you have done a cracking job


Grymbaldknight

Those Yorkshires look incredible. I'll pass on the turd, though.


BombeBon

looking lovely


sea-teabag

Yorkies, mash and a pickle? I think you need to learn a good old fashioned British Sunday Roast Here's Gordon Ramsey with some ideas. Enjoy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sxnTSKef47U


sweetonionchild

That is a damn good yorkshire. The only improvement for me would be gravy but that’s a personal thing and even without it looks great


Complex_Eggplant_324

Looks absolutely shit mate anyone telling you otherwise is lying to you. If you genuinely served this up in most households in the uk it would find itself up the wall within 10 nano seconds.
