I was helping to prepare the first Easter turkey dinner of this generation (the task used to fall on the grandparents, it usually is taken care of by the parents group, things worked out that the young couples had to step up).
Everything went pretty smoothly, untill I tried to make 'yorshires'. I have seen it done many times, heating up the oil in the muffin tins, pouring dollops of batter into the hot oil, etc.
I don't know what I did wrong, perhaps the oven was too hot, but when I opened the oven to remove the hot pan (partly filled with oil), it created a pretty good fireball. The door was blown back hard enough to bruise my legs, the arm hair between my shirtsleeves and oven mitts is mostly singed off, but thats about it.
No serious damage to myself or the oven but it was pretty intense for a second there. I didn't finish making them.
