Actually, grawrc - neither. I over-pre-cooked the toads, didnt want to do them any more, so served them separately!!

So now there's some left over for pud. So long as it's really hot & crispy, I do like the brown sugar treatment.

I'm a golden syrup on YP fan by upbringing, though I loved onion Yorkies too, which rather put paid to the dessert...  Mum eventually gave up and put onions at one end only.

It's the one thing I miss about not doing Sunday lunch and no longer touching beef! (That and Mum won't give me either of her pudding tins...)

Great idea moonbells, have been inspired! Toad in one corner, onions in the other, bananas in the third and one plain? ;D ;D

Tim,

I am Soooo envious of your YP.  HOW do you make them like that???

I have tried numerous times with almost numerous failures.

Any helpful tips?

Pretty please :-* :-* :-*

Aunt Bessies, via Asda-the only chance of success here, filled with casserole and called Flat Cap Yorkies. Never had a sweet one,sounds very tempting.
Smile, it confuses people.

No secret - it's AWT's recipe.

Equal volume of each.

That was 6 eggs(300ml), & 300ml of milk & flour.

Come on tim. Oven temp? For how long? Do you heat the tin beforehand? Dripping or lard? ???

Oh, good God yes! Like 400F+ - till it's smoking they say, but I like to catch it before that. If I have duck fat I use it, but n'importe! Depends on the veggies.

25-35 min? Depends upon how big. Until it looks right. And then a bit more, to stop it collapsing. Prefer crispy rather than traditional flab! The one in the pic went back in the oven for a few minutes.

make sure too you use PLAIN flour, Self Raising makes em sink!!
Oh and do try a tray like that with Boursin crumbled in before cooking, not good for the hips but very good on the tastebuds, and goes so well with Beef! ;D
