Yorkshire Pudding

4 tablespoons plain flour
2 eggs
quick dash of milk

Mix all ingredients with water added slowly to make a mixture that pours. Meanwhile, add olive or vegetable oil to a baking tin. Place tin in a hot oven until oil sizzles, then add batter mix to tin. Bake for 15 minutes, or until batter rises.  Don't open oven door until cooking is finished or it will sink! In Yorkshire, we eat it with gravy either before or with roast beef.

Jam Buns

jam
8 oz self-rising flour
4 oz sugar
4 oz butter
1 egg

This recipe is at least 100 years old and has been made by all the generations of my family!  Mix all ingredients except jam, like you would mix pastry. Roll into rounds (like a sausage shape). Cut into biscuit shapes and stick your finger into middle of each one and plop in some jam. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Leave to cool before burning your throat!
