How do you stop your yorkshires sticking?

I was always taught that the oil/fat has to be absolutely sizzling hot at the point you put the mixture in.

Aunt Bessie.

This. If you don't hear a hiss when you pour the mix into the tins, it will stick.

Its possibly your tin, is it non stick?

You can try rubbing a little oil all over it and just putting the tray in the oven on a very high heat to create a non stick seal, (don't wash the pan afterwards with detergent just wipe it with a clean cloth)

Also if you leave the tins too long soaking in water moisture can be absorbed into the non stick coating effecting the non stick capabilities, in which case fill the tin with salt and put in a hot oven to draw out the moisture.

I wondered if I needed a new tin. In the past they have come out of this tin just fine. I do leave it to soak for a fair bit.

I put oilin and put the tin in the oven for about 10 mins before I put the mixture in.Maybe I need the temp to be higher so the oil is extra hot.

Thank you!

*goes to take tin out of soak*

I use dripping! It heats to a really high temp - and tastes nice!

Until recently, I have been a dismal failure at homemade Yorkshire puddings. However, my new oven has made it easy, so I suspect this may be playing a part in your recent problems. Different ovens will be ever so slightly different in temperatures, despite what the display says.

Really hot fat is a must - I use veggie-friendly olive oil no problems. When I take the tin out, I put it over a lit gas ring to keep it sizzling. Then pour mixture in.

By going to my mum's.....

It has taken me a while to get used to the new oven, it is probably that and not having it hight enough.

FTLOMB- I will try your tip of putting the tray on the hob whilst puring the mixture in too! thanks!

I find you need really hot fat to get the yorkshires to rise, but i use a silicone pan and they come out beautifully every time.

I used a muffin tin and lard (we don't have them very often!).

Stick a bit of lard in the bottom of the tin, whack in the oven until smoking then pour the mixture in. Never stuck for me.

I wondered if you were using olive oil because I know that doesn't heat to a very high temperature or something but Footlong has blown my theory out the water by saying she uses it no problem!

They rise no problem and I use veg oil.

Im putting it down to the heat!

Will just have to do another batch soon to test the theory!

Don;t judge me but last night i did eat the cold left over ones and the bits off the bottom I could pick off and dunked them in the cold left over gray! Yummy!
