Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 milliliters Skimmed milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 milliliters Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil (or sunflower oil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or 200°C (fan).
In a mixing bowl, sift the flour and add the salt.
In a separate bowl or jug, whisk the eggs, skimmed milk, and water together until fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the flour and gradually pour in the egg mixture, whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Allow the batter to rest for at least 15 minutes to improve its consistency and ensure maximum puffiness when baked.
While the batter is resting, prepare a 12-hole muffin tin by adding just a few drops of vegetable or sunflower oil to each hole (approximately 0.17 teaspoons per hole).
Place the muffin tin in the hot oven for about 5 minutes to heat up the oil. This step is crucial to ensure the Yorkshire puddings rise properly.
Quickly and carefully remove the tin from the oven. Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin tin holes, filling each one about halfway.
Place the tin back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes without opening the oven door. The puddings should be golden brown, puffed up, and crisp around the edges.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy with your favorite roast dinner!
