Recipe: wholemeal Yorkshire puddings

As with the pancake recipe, here's the reasoning:

• oat pancakes are very tasty but they're not the same
• a healthy extra of bread is 60g wholemeal bread
• 60g wholemeal bread contains between 35 and 40 g wholemeal flour (I know this from my breadmaking)
• 35g wholemeal flour is 120 calories
• therefore, one can and ought to be able to (in my humble opinion) use 35g-40g wholemeal flour as a healthy extra B

Whether you accept this is up to you.  It's not part of the Slimming World rules, it's my adjustment, so if you're at all concerned, syn the flour.

Equally, a purist might very well shudder at the thought of using wholemeal flour for a Yorkshire pud.  However, if you use white flour, it definitely has to be synned!

Wholemeal Yorkshire puddings

Ingredients to make four muffin tin sized puds as in the photo

40g wholemeal plain flour (not strong flour)

one egg

50mls milk (a quarter of a heA of semi-skimmed)

oil (I used rapeseed) - half a tsp for each pudding so that's one syn per pud

seasonings

Method:

Heat oven to 230C

Carefully pour half a tsp oil into four compartments of a muffin tin.

Measure the flour into a bowl, add the egg and milk and whisk until it's smooth and creamy looking.  Add seasonings and whisk again.  Leave to stand.

Put the tin in the oven to heat up the oil to sizzling hot.

Pour the batter into the compartments (it should sizzle as it goes in) and put the tin quickly back into the oven.

Leave them to cook for around twenty minutes (don't open the oven door) by which time they should be well risen, crunchy and done.  If necessary, when they're done, turn the heat right down and leave to keep warm.

Serve with your roast dinner.

I find a couple is enough for me so the other two go in the freezer for another time.  When needed, heat the oven to around 200, put the puds on an ovenproof tray and reheat.

So each pud is

one syn

a tiny bit of heA (one eighth)

a quarter of a heB
