I tried supermarkets’ own-brand Yorkshire puddings – the 95p winners were huge and delicious

WHO doesn't love a Yorkshire pudding with their roast dinner?. Although, they’re traditionally served with beef, they’re delicious with all meat. The family favourite, made with flour, milk and eggs hails originally from northern England and was a way of using leftover fat from roasting meat - the first recipe was known as ‘dripping pudding’.

Although they're easy enough to make from scratch, it's always handy to have a packet in the freezer, when you don't have the time or inclination to do your own. Mum-of-two, Natasha Harding, 49, from Bude in Cornwall tried seven supermarket puddings - after cooking them for two minutes in an air fryer - with a roast dinner and gives her verdict.

Per pudding: calories, 51 fat, 1.6g sugar, 0.3g salt 0.12g. The most aesthetically pleasing Yorkie that I tested - with a lovely golden colour and a generous size. Once cooked, they were nicely crunchy on the outside and perfectly soft and battery on the inside.

For under £1, you’re getting a great deal for your money. Out of 30: 28. Without doubt, these were the tastiest. They were full of flavour, had a perfect texture and were so good I ate two. Compared to some of the other supermarkets, they are a little bit more expensive, but I think they’re worth it, especially if you’ve got friends or family round for a roast.
