GARY RHODES YORKSHIRE PUDDING RECIPE - (3.3/5)

Steps:

• Turn up the oven temperature to 425°F. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and whisk the eggs and the egg white into well of flour. Whisk in 10 ounces of the milk. This will give you a good thick batter. Check the consistency by lifting a spoon in and out. The batter should hold and coat the back of the spoon; if it's a little thick, whisk in a little more milk. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Allow to rest for at least 30 minutes out of fridge. This quantity of batter will fill ten to twelve (4-inch) individual tins or two 12-hole pudding mould trays. (Muffin tins can also be used for even deeper individual puddings if you wish.) Put a generous amount of oil or fat into your chosen tins and heat in the oven until almost smoking. When hot, add the batter, filling each one almost to full. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until risen and golden. (An extra 5 to 10 minutes may still be needed for a really crisp finish.)

GARY RHODES'S BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Grease a 1.7 (3pint) litre pudding basin with butter.
• First make the custard:.
• Whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar. Split the vanilla pod and place in a pan with the milk and cream. Bring the milk and cream to the simmer, then sieve onto the egg yolks, stirring all the time.
• Then:.
• Arrange the bread in layers in the prepared basin, sprinkling the sultanas and raisins in between layers. Finish with a final layer of bread without any fruit on top as this tends to burn. The warm egg mixture may now be poured over the bread and cooked straightaway or pour the custard over the pudding then leave it to soak for 20 minutes before cooking as it allows the bread to take on a new texture and have the flavours all the way through. So says Gary.
• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas4.
• Put the dish in roasting tray three-quarters filled with warm water and place in the oven. Cook for about 20-30 minutes until it begins to set. We're not aiming for a thick custard here - says Gary.
• When ready, remove from the water bath, sprinkle liberally with caster sugar to cover and glaze under the grill on medium heat, until the sugar dissolves and caramelizes.

GARY RHODES - STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 11x7 inch baking dish.
• Boil the dates in the water for about 5 minutes until soft, then add the baking soda.
• Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then add the eggs and beat well.
• Mix in the dates, flour and vanilla, then pour into the greased baking pan and cook in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until just firm to the touch.
• To make the sauce, simply place all the ingredients in a pan over a low heat and stir together until blended, then bring to the boil.
• Some of this can be poured over the pudding and finished under the broiler, or it can be kept totally separate and ladled over the pudding when served.
