Mary Berry shares her recipe for Yorkshire Puddings<\/h3>\n

Christmas is just around the corner and this has once again sparked conversation surrounding the festive dinner and its various combinations.<\/p>\n

Andy Dale, Sr Brand Manager at Aunt Bessie\u2019s, spoke to exclusively Express.co.uk to reveal the popular Yorkshire pudding producer\u2019s ideal gravy ratio.<\/p>\n

When it comes to plating the perfect amount of gravy to pour over the Yorkshires, Dale highlighted the need for the \u201cperfect balance\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAt Aunt Bessie’s, we know that Yorkshire puddings are key to a memorable roast dinner, and the perfect ratio of gravy to pud is hotly debated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s all about finding the perfect balance, where crispy golden Yorkshire pudding meets velvety, rich gravy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we work off the commonly accepted 1:1 Pud:Gravy ratio, then the perfect amount of gravy to accompany our Gloriously Golden Yorkshire Puddings is typically between 20-30ml.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would give the Yorkshire Pudding enough gravy to add extra flavour and moisture without becoming soggy.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Dale pointed out each person will have a different preference, depending on their own personal taste.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cAlthough, it\u2019s important to note that there is no right or wrong way to enjoy Yorkshire Puds – this ratio can be adjusted based on personal preferences.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome may prefer a drier Yorkshire pudding with a lighter drizzle of gravy, while others might like to soak it in a more substantial amount of gravy.\u201d<\/p>\n
