I finally got to cook in my new kitchen! It's not quite finished but i have the gas hob and ovens in place so I can at least cook again!
Looks good. Glad you can cook again - when is that kitchen all going to be ready?

Blimey! You missed the boat on the recent recipe challenge. Very impressive... but did you cook them yourself?
No. That's why I didn't post them in the challenge.
Oh - OK. Did you like them?
After many months of unsuccessfully searching for a Yorkshire pudding (bun) tin to fit in the halogen oven, I bought four Teflon coated ramekins. Being still wary of the halogen and how hot it actually gets, I consulted Google and was advised:
Heat the oil for 7 minutes at 250 degC. Add the batter and cook for 10 minutes at 250 degC. Reduce the heat to 200 degC and cook for a further 20 minutes then a further 5 minutes at 150 degC. No! Mine were getting close to burning after 10 minutes of the second stage. Anyway, although they were edible with plenty of gravy, they were nowhere near the standards of my mum's or my wife's (both born in Yorkshire).
I believe that the problem was the quantity of batter that I put in each ramekin. My mum used to put in about 1 tablespoon but the ramekins were much larger than the bun tins that my mum used. Next time I shall reduce the quantity a little.
Those are 120mm diameter overall and 4 on the lower tray just fit in the halogen.
Feel better. You need some chicken soup. Although, chestnut honey sounds wonderful.
