We all know they're a key part of any good Sunday dinner: Yorkshire puddings.
But while they seem simple to make, they can easily go wrong.
So it's a good thing you can just pop to your local shop and just buy a pack - some with up to 15 Yorkshire puds in for less than a quid.

All you then have to do is pop them in the oven for around five minutes, and voila! They’re done.
But which ready-made Yorkshire puddings are the best? We decided to try frozen puds from the major supermarkets - and of course Aunt Bessie's - to see which delivered.
I also have to admit, I hadn’t eaten Yorkshire puddings for well over a year (or Sunday dinners) so this was a welcome treat.
Scroll down to see how I got on:
Aldi
Aldi is known for their own brand products so it was no surprise to see they had their own Yorkshire Pudding brand - Just Like Grandma’s.
For 65p you get 12 golden Yorkshire Puddings.
I really enjoyed them, they didn’t taste bland, they had a sweet(ish) taste when you bit into them and they were golden as promised.
I would rate them four out of five, to get full marks, I’d have preferred them to be a bit bigger.
Rating: Four out of five.
Price: 65p for 12

Morrisons
After trying the Aldi puds, my hopes were very high. I was hoping to have a little bit of flavour but sadly they were bland.
The good thing though was the colour and crunch that they had after cooking in the oven.
They were quite small but had the correct texture you’d expect from a Yorkshire pudding but I can’t really rave about them.
Rating: Two out of five.
Price: 85p for 12
Tesco
Again, these were on the small side but they had a nice golden tone after cooking in the oven.
There wasn’t much of a taste to them but that's not really expected when it comes to a Yorkshire Pudding.
I would give them an average rating of three out of five.
Rating: Three out of five.
Price: 50p for 15
Asda
The one visible difference with these Yorkshire Puddings was the size.
Laid out on the tray, the ones from Asda were in the middle, they weren’t the biggest or the smallest.
They had the golden texture and crunch when you bite into them, but they were bland.
Rating: Three out of four.
Price: 75p for 12
Aunt Bessie's
I had really high hopes for Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings because I wanted to know why their puddings were so popular.
Out of the bunch they were the biggest Yorkshire puddings by a mile, they were perfectly golden and had a lovely crunch.
Even after eating four other brands before this, I knew instantly it was one of my favourites.
If I was having a full-blown Sunday dinner, one would be enough, or even half.
For me, it was just a bit too big but it was nice nonetheless.
Rating: Four out of five
Price: £1.65 for 10
Lidl
Lastly, the Simply Yorkshire Puddings from Lidl. With them being rivals of Aldi, I expected there to be some competition between the two.
But there wasn’t. They were just okay, nothing out of the ordinary.
Like all the puddings before this, it was golden and had a good texture. However, it didn’t stand out compared to the others.
Rating: One out of five.
Price: 50p for 15
Verdict
Out of all the six packets, there was one clear favourite for me.
Aldi’s Just Like Grandma puds tasted just right for me, they had the right thickness, sweetness, colour and texture. But Aunt Bessies were a close second.
Yorkshire Puddings don’t all taste the same I discovered, it's worth tasting different ones from different shops to find the ones you like best. For me, it's the ones from Aldi - and they're a bargain too!
