Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 200 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil, lard, or beef drippings
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
In a mixing bowl, sift the flour and salt together to combine and remove any lumps.
Create a well in the center of the flour, add the eggs, and whisk them into the flour until smooth.
Gradually add the milk in small amounts, whisking continuously, until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should resemble heavy cream.
Allow the batter to rest for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, at room temperature.
Place a 12-hole muffin tin (or a similarly sized Yorkshire pudding tin) into the oven to preheat. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil, lard, or beef drippings into each compartment of the tin and heat it in the oven until the fat is smoking hot.
Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven. Pour the batter evenly into each compartment, filling them about halfway to ensure room for rising.
Place the tin back into the hot oven and bake for 20-25 minutes without opening the door. The puddings should puff up and turn golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the Yorkshire puddings from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish with roast meats, gravy, and vegetables.
