Best fat to make Yorkshires with?

[HellsBells]

I’ve been using goose fat for my Yorkshire puddings as I have buckets left over from Xmas (look at me etc) and then sunflower oil when it’s finished. I’ve recently tried lard but felt they were a bit stodgy last week.

I’m trying lard again now today but any advances on lard or goose fat?

Beef dripping, rapeseed oil is alright as well due to how high you can heat it

Are they not stodgy because you’re filling the tin too much though? That’s usually my downfall with them when that happens. Goose fat & lard should work well as tbf

I think they were stodgy because I used three eggs instead of two. I’m using two this week so I’ll see if they’re better.

I just use two identical glasses and fill one with plain flour and the other with eggs, hoy them in my nutri bullet then let them set in the fridge while the fat is cooking

Use two eggs and an extra white for lift

sometimes i follow this (local) lads recipe which is 4 eggs and loadsa flour and they come out amazing

Beef dripping. Use that for the roast chatties anarl.

Isn’t it just a case of making sure whatever you use is smoking hot?

Goose fat for me tatties, mind.

I think that different fat gets hotter than others. Veg oil doesn’t get as hot as animal fat I think.

The missus swears by olive oil. The only complaint Is the bottom is a bit soggy.

Should never use olive oil to high temps as doesn’t reach the smoking point or something, should always be the aforementioned fats & oils

Tried olive oil when I’ve been out of goose fat and it’s just not the same.

That said the lard ones today just now were very average. Not as good as goose fat ones. I’ll try dripping next week.

I don’t think some oils get hotter than others but they do have different smoke points which is where the oil starts to break down. For yorkies fats with high smoke points are better.
