I've been known to make a batch of 12 in advance and take them with me, but nothing beats a crispy, un-sunken, hot Yorkshire Pudding.

How would one go about making Yorkshire pudding in the bush, would it be possible to heat the oiled tin directly over a flame until it smokes and then put the entire tin itself into a cast iron oven? Can these cast iron ovens go over a stove flame or must it be fire/coals?

Hay,

why dont you just use the camp oven its self, put it over the coals with the oilo in it and then when it's smokin, gently run the batter into the oven and put the lid on,
ie done it this way many times but i have a seperat little tiny one just for one allmost, you dont have individuals but you have a nice big yorky that u can cut up like a damper


chou

Joel,

Camp oven on the coals is the way to go. You would need a very big gas burner to provide the equivalent heat that a wood fire can. I haven't done a Yorkshire pud but it should be possible. If you can get the crackling on the roast pork done well in a camp oven then a pudding would be childs play.

Havent tried it but it would work i reckon as long as you pre heat it long enough , years ago when in the last year of my apprenticeship ( chef) i was working with a yorkshireman who made the best york puds i ever saw, they were the size of a dinner plate and nice and crispy, we used to throw a couple of slices of roast beef on top with some gravy and horseradish sauce - bootiful !

I don't even know what this pudding is. I shall look it up in a cook book and make it this week if it is that good.

Dont burn yourself. The hotter the oil the better. Accompanies raost beef and hot english mustard just nice. Introduced the kids to it a few months ago.

It was traditionally cooked in the oven dish after the roast joint was taken out to be carved. The pudding mix was poured into the oven dish with the fat and browned bits from the roast and stuck back in a hot oven. Seemed to be a bit of a black art, like good damper.
