Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 200 milliliters whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or beef dripping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or 200°C (400°F) if using a fan oven.
In a mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and add the salt.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk them into the flour until smooth.
Gradually add the milk to the mixture, whisking continuously to form a lump-free, smooth batter.
Cover the batter and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This helps achieve a better rise.
Place a standard 12-hole muffin or Yorkshire pudding tin in the preheated oven. Add about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil or beef dripping to each hole, ensuring even coverage.
Heat the tin in the oven for about 5 minutes until the oil or dripping is very hot and almost smoking.
Carefully remove the tin from the oven and quickly pour the batter evenly into each hole, filling each about halfway.
Immediately return the tin to the oven and bake for 20 minutes without opening the oven door. The puddings should rise and become golden brown and crisp.
Once cooked, remove the Yorkshire puddings from the oven and serve immediately. They pair perfectly with roast dinners and gravy!
