Insomniac surfers post reminded me
Gran taught me how to make Yorkshire puddings from scratch, and told me that only people from Yorkshire (raises hand - Hull) can get them to rise properly by putting Yorkshire love into them.
I live in the US now, but my Yorkshires always rise perfectly.

Because when I'm mixing the batter, without fail, I always whisper "Yorkshire love, yorkshire love"

*cries*
I'm a yorkshire lass and my yorkshires are shamefull.
I put it down to the electrickery being different up south.
A tray full of batter rises ok, but individual ones come out like proffiteroles.
Aunt Bessies frozen yorkshires for the win

You think that's an excuse?
I moved from sea level UK to live at over 850 metres altitude and nothing cooks like you expect it to. We can do Yorkshires but it takes experimentation and often luck to get 'em right.

How is it possible to be such a bad cook as to manage to fuck up Yorkshire pudding?
That's like screwing up pancakes, FFS...
