Herby Mustard Yorkies Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put 1 tsp oil in each well of a 12-hole muffin tin and heat in the oven for 6 mins. Meanwhile, tip the flour and some seasoning into a large, wide jug or a bowl. Beat the eggs with the milk and mustard, then gradually beat into the flour mixture until it makes a smooth batter.
• Pour or ladle the batter into the tin, taking care that it doesn't splatter up and burn you. Bake for 25-30 mins until well risen and golden - try to keep the door closed, as this will help you get a good rise on the Yorkies.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs just to blend.
• Gradually whisk in milk.
• Sift flour and salt into egg mixture and whisk until well blended and smooth.
• Whisk in all herbs.
• This is the first key to success- let the batter stand at room temperature for AT LEAST 30 minutes!
• While the batter is resting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
• This is the second key to success- the oven must be very hot!
• Re-whisk the batter before using and transfer to large measuring cup or pitcher with a spout so it will be easy to pour.
• Heat muffin tin with 12 muffin cups in oven for 10 minutes.
• This is the third key to success- the muffin tins must be very hot!
• Transfer drippings or melted butter to a measuring cup with a spout so you can easily pour it into the muffin tin.
• Pour about 1 tsp drippings or melted butter in each muffin cup.
• Return pan to oven for about 6 to 8 minutes.
• This is the last key to success- the fat must be very hot!
• Pour batter evenly into the muffin cups onto the hot fat.
• Bake until puddings are golden and puffy, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Puddings will sink slightly in centre.
• Serve immediately out of oven while still hot.

Steps:

• Place the mustard seeds and dry mustard in a spice grinder or blender and blend until the seeds are broken up. A coarse grind gives the mustard some texture. Place the ground mustard seed and dry mustard in a bowl and pour the water over the top. Stir and cover. Let the mixture stand for 4 to 5 hours, stirring a few times.
• Put the mixture in a food processor and add vinegar, honey, sugar, salt, pepper, basil, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Puree until it's smooth. If mustard seems too dry, add warm water to make a smooth paste. Store in a jar at room temperature until the mustard mellows to your taste, up to 2 weeks for a very mellow mustard. Enjoy!
