What can we smash next? We thought about all sorts of things - peas, crackers, armchairs. But we settled on the yorkshire pudding, and we're so glad we did.

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Whisk the eggs with the flour to form a smooth slurry, then slowly pour in the milk and add the salt. Set aside for around an hour - this makes the yorkie better for some reason.

Get a round cake tin and pour the oil in and place it in the oven to preheat.

Pour in roughly half the batter and place it immediately in the oven. It'll puff up. Cook until nicely browned then remove.

Allow it to cool down - don't worry too much if it collapses a little - then brush the flattest side with the egg, the press the chicken mince into it.

Pan fry until delicious and cooked through, then use as a vehicle for scooping up your favourite roast dinner bits.
