Of far more importance than the quality of ingredients is the quantity and the oven they are cooked in. I only discovered my oven had a poor door seal by cooking Yorkshires. As for quantities, after numerous recipes I've settled on the equal-measure (by volume) system: using three identical glasses, I crack 3 eggs into the first and fill the second & third to the same levels with milk & flour
Here is a photo of my efforts to make a Yorkshire pudding over an open fire. The heat of the fire makes the batter rise and the fat from the spit roasting leg of Herdwick mutton filled with oysters and studded with orange peel bastes the batter and provides a very nice darkish crust. (photo quality is poor)
I took this last year on a historical food course in the Lake district run by Ivan Day Better pictures of the mutton HERE

We had a range similar to that when I was a kid. Didn't have a spit though.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.
