  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas mark 7.

  3. Starting in the centre, whisk the liquid into the flour, making your way out to the outside, until you have a thick smooth batter. Ideally set aside for at least 30 minutes, or even, covered in a fridge overnight.

  4. Tip the cherry tomatoes, onion, peppers rosemary and thyme into a bowl, season well and toss to combine.

  5. Pour the oil into a large deep sided oven tray and place in the oven to heat for 2-3 minutes, then add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until hot through.

  6. Remove and carefully pour the batter into the tin, around the edge then return to the oven for 25-30 minutes until the vegetables are roasted and the Yorkshire risen and just crisp.

  7. Scatter with the basil leaves and serve straightaway.
