Usually I only want enough for one. The Brian Turner recipe, being based on capacity, means I can make just a small amount of batter at a time which is just perfect. It's what I call a 'template' recipe and one (I can remember. I shall have a go today!

I'm glad it's all over so I can get back to eating more healthily. I overindulged on everything and I can feel the extra lbs. I've given a tin of biscuits, the last tube of Pringles, a pack of Cadbury's choc fingers and a box of After Eights to the boys to share with instructions to keep them out of my sight so I'm not tempted. Hasn't stopped me downing 4 mince pies and about 8 Celebrations chocs today.

Tip eggs in jug, fill the 'something' to the same line with milk. Add to jug, whisk just to break the yolks. Wash and dry the 'something' , add plain flour to the same line , whisk briskly into the jug a little at a time, sieving if you can be bothered, until it's the usual double cream consistency. <br />Done. <br />The main difference I noticed between this and my Nanna's way - now my normal way - is flour in bowl first. Always by eye, never measured! Crack the eggs in - can be made with just one - my Nanna never had much money, then add half your milk. Whisk till thick and smooth and then 'let down' with cold water until right consistency! A thinner crisp Yorkshire but perfectly risen X how do you make yours normally?
