 So we did indeed make it to the famous Flee Market but left with only a sheet of acrylic on which Kerry hopes to do her pate de fruits and small carton of chicken stock which we are going to taste test.

Now that is a ribeye from Cumbrae's.  It was a gift from a benefactor. And we are most grateful.

And these are Kerry's yorkies. I rate them the best yorkies I have ever had!   And that is saying something.

A finished plating. 

 

Steak, mushrooms, yorkies, broccoli and gravy. I do not think there were any complaints from  either of us about tonight's meal except perhaps that we wished we had room for more. 

 

The steak was done SV x 3 hours at 54.5°C  and then quickly seared on a little green egg.

Nice yorkies! Yorkies were my wife's department. She did them well so I saw no reason to interfere. Except now I have no idea how she made them. I suppose one day I should start searching for a good recipe. She apparently had hers in her head, none has turned up anywhere in the house.

Yorkshire Pudding

Ingredients

 

  • ⅞ cup flour, 120 grams
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup milk, 125 grams
  • 2 extra large eggs (the eggs I used today were honking big double yolkers) 
  • ½ cup water, 125 grams

 

Method

Beat together all but water. Add water. I then let this sit for a minimum of one hour on the counter. 

 

Pour some beef fat (a tablespoon or so each ) into about 18 muffin tins (or 12 muffins and one loaf pan). Place them in the oven while you preheat it to 425 F.  When oven is preheated and fat is good and hot - stir the batter and divide between the tins. Watch for splattering oil. 

 

Bake 20 to 25 minutes until puffy and browned.

I will definitely be doing those. Thanks! The minion will thank you as well. When there was a meal with yorkies, she didn't care about anything else. She would just eat yorkies and gravy. So she'll be very happy to see them return.

It looks like there was something green in the yorkies. Was it just the photo?

 Nothing green in the yorkies. Must be the lighting.

Good morning. 

 

IMG_4004.thumb.JPG.7a93a45f68b505926390222067587275.JPG

 

Beef!  It's what's for breakfast, don'cha know. Delicious. 

 

Going to attempt Ottolenghi's Lahmacun (here) today but I know nothing can top last night's dinner. 

 

Think we are staying put today so Kerry can get some paper work done. 

 

Again it is very cold here.

Kerry, they look pretty good. What are your thoughts on the two trials?

Yesterday's darker ones had a better crust - these are nicely pudding like in the center. 

 

I'm debating @Alleguede's suggestion of butter and fine sugar in the mold

@Anna N  

 

that looks like a fantastic breakfast.

 

nothing like The Next Day's   RB Sandwich  w quality Beef

 

expertly cooked    ie a rare as reasonable.

 

I could also see a couple of very runny egg yolks on that sandwich.

Butter & sugaring the molds and using technique 2 might get you a good crust & custardy insides. I think the idea is worth a trial. 

 

They are fabulous when you get all the textures right. I have never made one but did buy a perfect one once and it was amazing -- that is when I finally understood what all the fuss is about.

The dough for the lahmacun is resting. The temperature has fallen to 15°C and I am not sure it has finished dropping. Brrrrrrr.

You're not exactly having  summer weather these days. I hope the cold and rain break up soon.

Anna N,

59ºF was our low last night, it'll be nearly 100ºF today.  I don't know which is worse, your weather or ours.

Though since I really don't like the heat, I'd choose yours.
