Buckwheat Yorkies

My Dad was a master at making and cooking Yorkshire pudding. Every time my Dad would make a roast beef dinner he would always make Yorkies to go with it. Nowadays I’m not so great on gluten so I have had to swap the plain flour for buckwheat. (It’s gluten free).

The recipe below is based on my Dad’s recipe but with buckwheat flour instead. There are many people who believe that it’s not a Yorkie if it’s not made with white flour and yes I would agree. However these, I think, are a brilliant alternative and we enjoyed them very much. We hope you will too.

Do you have any recipes that have been handed down to you and if so what are they? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me.

Buckwheat Yorkies were delicious. We ate them with a roast chicken dinner. Plus there were leftovers as well. The leftovers can be eaten for tea with a little bit of marmite on or jam or honey as well. That’s a few ways we used to eat my Dad’s leftover yorkies. My dad would also eat his leftovers with a slice of beef and a teaspoon of mustard. All the ingredient in this batter mix are freezable so you could make a big batch and freeze it. Although I tend to enjoy these freshly cooked or as leftovers. However you decide to eat these yorkshire puddings, as always, please enjoy. xxx
