Description
This classic Yorkshire Pudding recipe yields crispy, golden-brown puddings with a light and fluffy interior, perfect as a traditional English side dish to soak up gravy or sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
Yorkshire Pudding Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk (300mL)
- 3 large eggs
For Cooking
- 1/4 cup beef roast drippings, lard, or oil (60mL)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients. Combine the flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl, stirring thoroughly to blend.
- Combine wet ingredients. In another medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until smooth and well incorporated.
- Make the batter. Gradually add the milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth with no lumps. Place the batter in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the oven and muffin tin.
- Preheat oven and oil. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spoon 1 teaspoon of beef drippings, lard, or oil into each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin. Place the tin in the oven to heat the oil until very hot, about 10 minutes.
- Stir and fill. Stir the chilled batter once more. Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and quickly pour approximately 1/4 cup of cold batter into each cup, ensuring the oil is sizzling.
- Bake. Immediately return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the Yorkshire puddings are puffy, golden brown, and crispy on top.
- Serve. Remove from the oven and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- This recipe produces Yorkshire Puddings that are crispy on the outside with a soft, fluffy interior, ideal for soaking up gravies and sauces.
- Use beef drippings for authentic flavor, but vegetable oil or lard can be substituted.
- Ensure the oil in the muffin tin is very hot before adding the batter to achieve maximum puffiness and crispiness.
- Serve immediately as the puddings will deflate if left to sit.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend with similar properties.
