Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 150 milliliters Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or beef dripping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or gas mark 7.
In a mixing bowl, sift the flour and whisk in the salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack in the eggs. Begin whisking, gradually incorporating the flour.
Slowly add the milk while continuing to whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
Place a muffin or Yorkshire pudding tin in the oven to preheat. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil or beef dripping to each cavity of the tin.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering (about 5 minutes), carefully remove the tin from the oven and pour the batter evenly into the cavities, filling each one about halfway.
Quickly return the tin to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes without opening the door, until the puddings are puffed up and golden brown.
Serve immediately as a side dish, preferably with roast beef and gravy.
