Glad to hear you enjoyed, and the pear-gruyere sounds delicious as well!

They definitely don't rise up as much due to the fillings which weigh them down a bit, but I tend to make sure the apple at least is in the middle so the sides can still rise. Yes, self raising would almost certainly rise more but it's not typical for Yorkshire pudding. To me, the lack of rise is a trade off for the tasty additions, but you certainly could try the self-raising flour to try to get both.

Thanks, they are indeed so tasty!

It's a tasty combination, enjoy!

Thank you! Yes, I too love that I don't need any extra tools for them!

I may be biased but I'd say definitely! They're easy and so tasty.

Thanks, they really work so well!

I agree, it's amazing how much they can puff up from such simple ingredients. The extra flavors here really add something too.

Thank you, it's a simple twist and so tasty!

Yes, I think so - I don't have a popover pan (I have enough trouble justifying some of the things I have already!) but see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Thanks!

Thanks, Effie, it is indeed tasty. Happy FF to you too!

Thanks for letting me know you liked it, Ralph, always so nice to hear when someone tries the recipe and I like the sound of making them with spelt flour - must try that myself!

I've been seeing pies like that recently, sounds tasty! I must give it a try, and hope you like these too!

Thanks, Diane, I have seen them that way as well - I guess it helps them take on the beef flavor more when you have them with beef, but these have their own flavors that to me are even more tasty.

Thanks, Abida, they are really tasty too!
