Chick in the Hole - It’s Yorkshire Pudding Day!

Chick in the Hole - It’s Yorkshire Pudding Day!

There’s a tale behind this odd recipe…. I found a medium Chicken in Lidl at £2.19 which we roasted the other evening. The Dal dish we ended up making really didn’t need Rice or Chicken with it, so we had cold roasted Chicken in the fridge. Sage goes well with Chicken (Think Sage & Onion shuffing), there’s a Sage bush down the road and we’ve done quite a few versions of Toad in the hole.

So the “Chick in the Hole with Sage batter and Wholegrain Mustard gravy” experiment started! This is probably our favourite Gluten free Yorkshire Pudding combo so far……

Ingredients for the giant Yorkshire Pudding batter:-

100g Cornflour
150ml Milk
3 eggs
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper
Finely chopped fresh Sage leaves

Method:-

(1) Remove the Chicken meat and cut into large pieces, removing the bones from the thighs but leaving the skin on.
(2) Pre-heat the oven to 220c, add oil or lard to a large tray and place in the oven.
(3) Whisk tall the ingredients for the batter several time to get as much air into it as possible.
(4) When the oil / lard is smoking remove the tray from the oven and arrange the cooked Chicken on the tray but slightly away from the sides.
(5) quickly pour your batter mix around the Chicken and return to the oven.
(6) Cook for 30 to 35 minutes until the Yorkshire Pudding has risen and is golden brown.

We really enjoyed this with some stir fried vegetables, roast Potatoes and Wholegrain Mustard gravy.

Pancake Cake recipe, eat well on universal credit



This believe it or not, should have been a Frittata. But we had one the last time we had lots of Eggs which were short dated. So the idea mutated from Frittata, through conventional savoury Pancakes to this monster!

Gluten free Pancakes are a bit tricky to flip, but this recipe works well and will make 10 fluffy Pancakes. You can halve or quarter the quantities as required.

Ingredients:-

400g  Plain White Flour, Gluten free for us
4 eggs
1L of Almond milk
2 Tsp of Baking Powder
2 Tsp of Salt
Oil, for the pan

Method:-

(1) Mix and whisk your batter.
(2) Heat a small frying pan with a little Oil. It’s best to use this batter as soon as you can as the Baking Powder is only active for a short time.
(3) Fry on both sides until golden brown and lay on baking parchment to separate.
(4) Cook your fillings. We used Onions, Mushrooms, Red Pepper, Ricotta, Crispy Bacon and Chorizo. But that’s up to you.
(5) In an oven proof dish layer your Pancakes with your filling between each one.
(6) Dress with Cheese and place in the over at 170c until the Cheese melts.

This was much better than the intended Frittata. But man it was filling! We’ll have the other half cold with some Salad tomorrow!
