Ingredients

For the yorkshire pudding batter

75 g
plain flour
pinch of salt
2
eggs
100 ml
milk

For the mushrooms and onions

2 Tbsp.
vegetable oil
2
red onions, cut into quarters
1 tsp.
salt
2 Tbsp.
red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp.
honey
2
garlic cloves, skins removed
5
sprigs thyme, leaves removed
4

Directions

1. Step 1In a large bowl add the plain flour and salt and stir to combine.
2. Step 2Add the eggs and stir until you have a thick, smooth batter.
3. Step 3Next, using a whisk, gradually add the milk until you have a silky batter that’s the same consistency as double cream. Cover and rest in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.
4. Step 4Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220°C (190°C). In an ovenproof frying pan set over a medium heat, add 1 tbsp of oil and add the red onions. Cook for 5 minutes or until starting to char.
5. Step 5Add ¼ tsp salt, honey and red wine vinegar. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the onions are covered and have a dark sticky glaze. Remove from the pan and set aside.
6. Step 6Place the pan back on the heat and add the remaining oil, garlic and thyme. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until they start to brown.
7. Step 7Next, add the reserved onions and juices, turn the heat up to high and quickly pour over the batter. Place straight in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the Yorkshire pudding is brown, puffed and crispy. Serve covered in gravy with a side of veggies.
