I'd have to OK that too. My wife uses a 'Blender' to mix the
ingredients together (and that certainly beats the hell out of them).
I have used a food processor occasionally, but I still prefer my
trusty wooden spoon.

The only way I know of getting 'stodgy bottoms' is if you overfill the
pudding tin. We used to sugar our infrequent leftovers.

Incidentally, you can often find popovers and larger Yorkshire
puddings in the frozen food sections of most supermarkets. They are
pretty reasonable - or so I've been told ;-)

By the way I was born and lived most of my life in 'Good Old
Yorkshire'!
