Here’s a classic Yorkshire Pudding recipe 🥄🍽️—crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. Perfect as a side for roast beef or a hearty Sunday meal!
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2–3 tablespoons vegetable oil or beef drippings
Instructions
1. Make the batter
- In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs and milk together.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the flour, whisking until smooth.
- Let the batter rest 30 minutes at room temperature (optional, but helps with puffiness).
2. Preheat the oven
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pour 1 teaspoon oil (or beef drippings) into each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin or small baking dish.
- Heat in the oven for 5 minutes until very hot.
3. Bake the puddings
- Carefully pour the batter into the hot oil—fill each cup about halfway.
- Bake 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden.
- Do not open the oven while baking, or the puddings may collapse.
4. Serve
- Serve immediately with roast beef, gravy, or as a savory side.
Tips
- Extra puffiness: Make sure the oil is very hot before adding the batter.
- Variation: Add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the batter for flavor.
- Storage: Best eaten fresh; reheat quickly in a hot oven if needed.
- Make mini puddings: Use a mini muffin tin for bite-sized versions.
